Mango Salad Ingredients
Mango Pie Crust:
1/4 cup pecans 14 cup walnuts
5 medjool dates, pitted
Mix all ingredients in a food proces- sor and then spread thin in a pie plate. (Note: For a thick crust, double the ingredient amounts.)
Pie:
1 or 2 bananas, sliced into thin rounds 1 mango, chopped into small, diced cubes
Handful of fresh strawberries, chopped into small pieces (can be pulsed in a food processor, but be careful to leave small pieces—don’t puree), plus 3 or 4 halved berries, for garnish Handful of fresh raspberries 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
To assemble the pie, place the banana rounds evenly on the bottom of the crust. Layer the mango cubes on top of the bananas. Smoosh and mash some raspberries into the strawberries, using your fingertips, and place this mixture evenly on top of the mango in the middle of the pie, leaving 2 to 3 inches around the edge (see photo). Sprinkle with shredded coconut, if desired, and add the halved strawberries as a garnish.
Refrigerate for 4 hours, so the pie is more firm when served. Expect rave reviews—it is fantastic!
