Drizzle sesame oil on the greens and voila, ready to eat. Delicious!

TIP DU JOUR:
Cilantro is a herb that is often not liked. If you aren't fond of cilantro do try it in this recipe, just add a little. If you love cilantro then add a lot. But do try it, again for the first time. It really complements the flavour of mango and it ties all these ingredients into a delicious party in your mouth.
