Mango, Blueberry and Fennel salad is perfect with a summer picnic or a bowl of soup in the winter. It's easy to make but beautiful enough for any table | HostessAtHeart.comIf I lived in an area that was warm all year around, I would have a mango tree and an avocado tree. Oh, and I have to have a lime tree for the margaritas too. The first time that I tried mangos it was love at first bite. My son has a mango tree in his yard and when he moved there it was overgrown and he contemplated removing it. I threatened him with a time out. The tree stands and is just waiting for me to visit.

The colors stay vibrant and the fennel retains its crunch even after a couple of days. If you haven’t had fennel before, it has a mild black licorice flavor. If that isn’t your thing, jicama would work too.

    What a yummy salad, Julie! Mangoes and blueberries are 2 of my very favorite fruits so I know I would love this. I love fennel too, but would never have thought to put them together. I bet it is wonderful, though. The vinaigrette sounds good as well. I am going to have to try this!

    What an interesting combination! It looks delicious 🙂 I would absolutely have an avocado tree, absolutely a lemon tree and a lime tree just seems inspired 🙂

    This salad looks like a breath of fresh air in the winter! Mangoes have been on sale at the grocery store lately, so I will definitely keep this mind! The flavor combination sounds great!

    This sounds so refreshing and delicious Julie! I’ve never thought of putting a vinaigrette on a fruit salad. I don’t know what could beat the lemon, the bit of sweetness and the bit of salt combined with the fennel. I would want a mango tree and a lemon tree. And while I’m at it, maybe a whole orchard of other trees as well!

    I love mangoes and always have fennel on hand for my morning smoothie. Julie, you have put it all together in such and elegant presentation. It will be on my list to do for this weekend 🙂

    I grew up eating mangoes Julie, and will have to say it is probably my most favorite fruit. Your fruit salad ticks all the boxes for me, love the crunch of the fennel, so catchy too with those gorgeous colors. Roll on summer, can’t wait for the supply of mangoes then.

      Thank you Loretta! I think mangos have to be at the top of my list too, and another would be the fresh summer strawberries. I am really getting spring fever but I’m really jumping the gun. We had snow this week and today is almost 50. Have a wonderful weekend!
