This recipe sticks to the no-fail formula for assembling a delicious salad: combine lettuce, fruit, cheese, and a great, healthy dressing. Adding chicken or other meat makes it more of an entree; nuts are also a tasty addition. This salad overachieves by containing two fruits — mango and blueberry. It’s a beautiful combination, however, both flavor-wise and visually. Serve this salad al fresco with a crisp, light wine and good bread.
