A Feast For The Eyes: Mango Mint Salad

Sometimes, looking is enough.
And, sometimes, you just have to give in to temptation.

As the song says – Summertime, and the livin' is easy. After enduring what seemed like a winter that just wouldn't quit, I am revelling in not only the warmer temps but the abundance of fresh produce available. Farm stands and farmers' markets are open for the season, and I'm in heaven. I've even been able to walk out the back door and harvest a beautiful selection of just-picked lettuce and herbs from my own garden.

I have a voracious appetite for all things green. Imagine my delight when I discovered Green Appetite, a site loaded with luscious ideas for plant-based living. Jessica Stone is an ex-pat living in London, who believes "the ultimate recipe is no recipe at all" and that "the best dishes are uncomplicated and respect the inherent genius in nature rather than try to improve upon it." Hello? Will you marry me?

I stalk her blog now.

You can feed your own inner voyeur. Her mango mint salad will knock your sandals right off, but have a look around. You'll find lots of sexy recipes, and discover just how tasty eating green can be.

Live a little. It's the weekend.
