I love this salad! I made it the first time about two years ago when I took my boyfriend Mark to Paternoster for a surprise birthday weekend away, then again for another friend’s birthday weekend a little while later. It goes well with spicy chicken kebabs or fish, but my favourite is with delicious prawn skewers.
Ingredients
- One large mango
- One red onion
- 250 g rocket

- 100ml Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
How to make a sunshine salad
- Peel and slice onion thinly. Cover with salt and the juice of one lemon and put aside. (handy hint… microwave the lemon for 15 – 30 seconds to get the max amount of juice out of the lemon)
- Peel and cut the mango into chunks
- Once the salt has drawn some of the liquid out of the onion add the olive oil to this mixture. Season with coarse black pepper
- Coat the rocket leaves with the onions, lemon and olive oil dressing
- Top with mango and serve!
Easy-peasy sunny summer salad!
