Mango Blackberry Salad


If Seth had his way, we would be posting a picture of a bowl filled with blackberries.  And only blackberries.  And actually, it wouldn’t be a whole bowl filled with them.  Probably just a small handful.  Seth is very picky about fruit...  The list of fruits he will eat consists of Granny Smith apples and sometimes a tiny bit of blackberries.  Extensive, isn’t it?  (Editor’s comment: This is completely false by the way.) Vegetables are a different story.  He eats them happily.  But since it is mother’s day, I am getting my way and mixing some blackberries with mango (the horror!) and then drizzling with some lime juice, zest, and fresh mint.  A refreshing, simple salad.

Ingredients 
6 ounces blackberries
1 large mango, diced
½ teaspoon lime zest
1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions 
Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl then serve.

  4. It's sort of sad that I just purchased my first basket of blackberries EVER! I don't know why I never tried them before! I am ashamed... But I'm getting on this train, so maybe I'll have to bust out this salad as well!

    1. I really like blackberries, but only before they're ripe, when they're still sour and red...

  38. looks very appetizing, I love these vibrant colours clashing with each other in the bowl, truly mouthwatering, who could've thought of mixing mangoes? This is a brilliant, albeit fairly simple recipe for an ordinary person to make, often there's recipes with dozens of ingredients which are difficult and tiring to obtain, let alone prepare, this one is as simple as getting osrs gold for sale
