Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe but firm mangoes to avoid mushiness.
- Walnuts can be toasted lightly to enhance their flavor.
- To make this salad vegan, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese.
- This salad is best served fresh as the spinach and mango can wilt or become soggy if stored too long.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice for an extra zing if desired.
