Italian Mango Salad
"A very fresh and easy summer salad, much better than the widely known tomato-mozzarella-salad. And it looks so nice! A friend of dh who is Italian made it for us thousand years ago, when we spend some wonderful days in his home in Rome and when I told him that I love Italian cuisine, but hate raw tomatoes."

This is awsome. fantastic flaver. even better with a splash of balsomic vinegar.I would add the word Mozzeralla to the name. I would have found it alot sooner. -
I love this salad! It is better than the tomato version, if you like mangoes. I diced up mangoes and fresh mozzarella into small cubes and sprinkled with basil chiffonade. All the women at my luncheon raved over this one! Thank you for such a unique recipe! -
Divine! I agree, it's even better than tomato and mozzarella salad and that's saying something because I love that. The mozzarella bufala available here is imported and insanely expensive but I'm glad I got it. I can imagine how lovely the ingredients would be, stacked up as described, but I wasn't in the mood for fussing with it, so I just made two layers, sprinkled it with the smallest basil leaves and called it great. -
Pleasant alternative to the usual tomato and mozzarella salad. Yummy!

I am a writer and book-author and I live on a small island in the north sea and in a big city in Germany. Most of my published books are novels. None of them is translated into english until now, but two into korean. At the moment I am working at my ninth novel. A cookbook come out 2005. To read and to try recipes is a good way to get away from work. My kids think, that our money is coming out of the wall and that mum is playing computer games all day long. But this is not true. (I worte this two years ago, in the meantime, they grew)
I have been collecting cookbooks and recipes for the past 20 years, and I love to cook for my family and friends. I love all seasons but the best season to write is winter. For cooking I prefer the summer.
