Citrus Salad on Mango Puree with Shaved Chocolate and Toasted Almonds
This fruit-based dessert combines four varieties of oranges for a colorful, refreshing and light treat. Mangos are pureed to provide a balanced sauce for the fruit salad. Suggested garnishes include: toasted nuts, shaved dark chocolate, pomegranate arils, coconut or fresh mint.
(Note: Grapefruit can be substituted in this recipe. However, we will not use it in the class, since grapefruit can interact with common prescription medications.)
