Mango Fig Salad Salsa Bowl
I love working with unique ingredients and flavor combinations. This delicious Mango Fig Salad Salsa Bowl combines some unique flavors and textures in a pretty little edible bowl!
I am back from a little beach vacation, and I was not ready to give up the fresh food and summer flavors that I got while I was in Florida. I thought I would use that inspiration to create this yummy little salsa salad. To turn plain old mango salsa into a salad, I use some diced Calimyrna Figs and arugula. Then I placed it over a bed of lime cilantro quinoa. All nestled into a Siete Cassava Chia Seed tortilla bowl. WOW! The shrimp the photo is optional but were a nice addition if you wanted to add a little seafood to the mix.
Enjoy the recipe below! I loved creating it for you!
