- chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
- red grapes
- semi-peeled and chopped english cucumbers
- finely sliced red onion
- steamed prawns/shrimp
- chunks of cantaloupe.
Once you put all these ingredients in your platter, squeeze some lime and grind some fresh pepper on top.
There are endless variations of this salad but this is my simple approach. It was delicious and I had some on Sunday for a snack.
Enjoy!

Looks super delicious! Mango must be a specialty item..or would you use dried? Good idea you had to just use cantaloupe. I've been wanting cucumbers lately and I'd never pass up shrimp!
Well, have a great day (this is still Saturday evening my time-:)
Yes that is absolutely delicious, and I can assure you with mango, if available,it is even more delicious.
Love and hugs,
Jan
Hello Regina, I'm not sure what you mean by mangos being a specialty item. We do have fresh mangos here if that's what you mean. I decided to use cantaloupe due to the high cost of mangos. Have a wonderful Sunday (the time just turned) ;-)
Hi Jan, I do believe you. I have had it in a restaurant before and it was quite delicious. I had a taste for cantaloupe yesterday and I didn't want to pay the high cost of mangoes this time. They don't grow here and neither do cantaloupes.
I have made a note of this for summer. Salads are just not on the menu at the moment while it is so cold :( Diane
Mmmmmm, my kind of food! I had rather have the cantaloupe than mango.

Diane, I'm sure you will love this salad, especially when the weather warms up as the cantaloupe is so refreshing :-) Hope it gets warmer for you soon.
Gerry, nice to see you. I'm sure that you will love this salad whenever you get around to trying it :-)
