Citrus Fennel Mango Salad

July 24, 2016
The days are hot and humid here on the ocean. It's difficult to find a  way to get everyone to the table and be willing to eat something other than ice pops. I love serving a good salad from the garden, and this one is both a combination of garden fresh vegetables with added fruits for the perfect crunch and juicy bite. It's a keeper! Thanks to Executive Chef, Anthony Steward, at Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa, you can enjoy a simple, healthy salad that is packed with flavor.
