Mango Arugula Salad Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Welcome May! I love that it is May and the perfect time to make this simple and easy Mango Arugula Salad Recipe. If you are looking to lighten things up a bit for lunch or dinner, like I am, this is a great Arugula salad recipe to change things up. I am trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in our diet and this is a tasty way to do that. This Mango Arugula salad also travels well if you pack the ingredients separately. Perfect for a picnic lunch at the park or on the beach!

The fresh ingredients in this simple salad make it a great way to celebrate the season too! Top it with a tasty vinaigrette dressing and you have the makings of a great side dish or meal.

For another dinner option, add some cooked skinless, boneless chicken pieces to make a wonderful Mango Arugula Chicken Salad. It is one of my go to lunches when I want something that is light but has some protein too. Wonderfully satisfying and low in fat, it is a great choice for a meal. Warmer weather and summer dresses are coming soon and I think we all want to feel better and look better in the months ahead.

This mango salad recipe is good on its own, but makes a truly a lovely side dish as well. The mango just brightens up the salad!

Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Recipe
