  • 1/8 tsp Gustare Fleur de Sel

3

Carefully pull apart endive leaves and rinse. Arrange on serving plates.

4

Cut mango into ½ inch cubes.

5

Divide evenly, and top endive leaves with mango.

6

Rinse and pat dry basil leaves. Stack them, roll them tightly together from base to tip, and slice crosswise into thin strips or “ribbons” to chiffonade.

7

Sprinkle over mango.

8

Scatter toasted almonds evenly over salads.

9

Drizzle with dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

*Make prep and assembly even quicker by toasting almonds and mixing the dressing up to several days in advance. In fact, allowing the ingredients to infuse over time will result in an even more flavorful dressing overall. It’s a win-win. Toast some extra almonds for a heart-healthy, protein-packed snack all week long!

*Not a fan of endive? No problem. Use baby spinach, arugula, or a mix of your favorite greens instead. This is a delicious, refreshing salad either way.

*Pre-set your table with this salad just before guests arrive to create a truly cheerful, welcoming dining experience.
