Kale and Mango Salad with Shrimp

- Serves 3

This is one of my favorite ways to use kale - de-stem kale and massage the leaves with sweet and sour honey-lemon vinaigrette, until tender. Toss leaves gently with Thai honey mango or any other locally available variety of mango. Top with some roasted peanuts or almonds to make a beautiful vegetarian salad. Sweet prawns or chicken strips also make a good addition if you'd like some extra protein with your greens.
