- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) plain yogurt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) liquid honey (or less if desired)

tips
- You can substitute apples or peaches for the mango.
- Frozen mango works just as well as fresh in this recipe and there’s no waste! Make sure the frozen mango is thawed completely before adding to the salad or the salad will become watery.
- Smoked paprika or chili powder can be used instead of the masala seasonings or curry powder.
My family and I made this salad on the weekend. It is beyond good!! It’s super flavourful. The bites of sweet mango with the savoury chickpeas and spinach is a perfect mouthful. And if you like more heat (like we do), you can chop in some jalapeño.
Thank you for the feedback Nausheen! We are so happy you and your family enjoyed the recipe and thank you for the tip!
LOVED this! we made it warm and served jasmin rice on the side 🙂
