This is a refreshing summer salad with vibrant colours that never fail to amaze. I got the ideas for this salad from a side dish I had at an Indian fusion restuarant, it was absolutely delicious and refreshing. I took a picture of the plate to remind myself of the visible ingredients, then i tried to put together what my palate was picking up, I added some mangoes because it was in my fridge. Enjoy!
