Ingredients
Dressing
- 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Red Grape Vinegar or Red Vine Vinegar
- ½ tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Dill finely chopped

Instructions
- Start with making the lime dill vinaigrette dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients well and let it rest for 10 minutes. *Cover and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve the salad.
- In a large bowl, add chopped lettuce, diced mangoes, sliced onions, diced cucumber, red pepper and cilantro. *At this point you can cover and refrigerate it if you wish to serve it later.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store the leftovers in a clean, airtight box for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Note that the romaine will wilt after just an hour or so after dressing.
- Salad dressing may be made up to 3 days ahead of time.
