Mango-Broccoli Salad

I'm on afternoons again this week and after last week's soup I decided a salad was the way to go. I made the Mango-Broccoli Salad from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.

Thoughts and Variations
I used two mangos, because they looked small to me (I don't actually know what counts as large for a mango), I diced the onion since I find them to be on the spicy side. I also forgot the horseradish so that got left out. I also accidentally added things out of order, so the orange sections went in with everything else and I just mixed it carefully.

It's decently tasty but it feels a little like separate ingredients just thrown together. Maybe because there is nothing that makes it easy to get all the pieces in the same bite? It was fairly easy to put together though and it does taste good. I may make this again but we'll have to see.

Signal Boost

Today is the poetry fishbowl on ysabetwordsmith's page. The theme is "reality is stranger than fiction." If you have an idea that fits, leave a prompt and you'll get a poem. If you boost the signal (like I'm doing right now), head over to dialecticdreamer's page and let her know; doing so unlocks a verse of this month's linkback poem.

So come on over and join the fun! The results are always worth seeing!
