Salad of the Day-- Mango & Pine Nut Salad from Women's Fitness


Mango And Pine Nut Salad
An eclectic dish with a hefty source of fiber
Maureen Callahan, R.D.

Beans, greens, and mango turn this into a 12-gram fiber fiesta. But the eclectic flavors--tropical mango, spicy Dijon, and buttery pine nuts--will drive that healthy fact right out of your mind.
The Recipe .


Mango And Pine Nut Salad
2 c chopped fresh mango
