A Tropical Treat

Getting tired of the same old lettuce and tomato salad? Summer’s the time when salads are at their most appealing and today’s Health-e-Recipe for Mango, Cucumber and Red Pepper Salad mixes up salad stereotypes. The crunchy cukes and juice red pepper contrast in color and texture with the soft smooth mango. Here’s how to peel a mango like a pro.

Dressed with citrus, mint and peanuts, this salad still adds lettuce – but red leaf, a darker variety so therefore higher in phytochemicals that fight cancer. Share this zingy salad with friends, and find more unusual salad combinations at AICR’s Test Kitchen. Click here to subscribe to weekly Health-e-Recipes from AICR.
