Mango Blackberry Salad Two Ways

I was messing around with mangos last week and created two recipes inspired by a Martha Stewart salad we tried last summer. One salad was made with fresh buffalo mozzarella and the other was made with Brun-Uusto (bread cheese).  I am not sure which one I like better. The Brun-Uusto cheese is delicious grilled. It is buttery and chewy while the fresh mozzarella is light and tender. Try them and let me know which one you like better.

Salad Ingredients:

1 champagne mango

buffalo mozzarella or Brun-Uusto cheese (Juustalepia)

1 pint of blackberries

red onion

arugula

Cardamom dressing

1/4 cup white balsamic w/ lemon or squeeze lemon in.

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tsp cardamom pods (dry roasted & then break open pods & add seeds)

salt & pepper to taste

Version One: Juustalepia Salad

Cut the Brun-Uusto in chunks and then pan fry until completely heated through. Arrange the arugula on a plate with a few slices of red onion. Arrange slices of mango and cheese on the plate. Top with whole fresh blackberries and 2-3 tablespoons of the cardamom dressing. For this version I blended the dressing with 4-5 fresh blackberries. 

Version Two: Mango Mozzarella Salad

Arrange the arugula on a plate with a few slices of red onion. Arrange slices of mango and cheese on the plate. Top with whole fresh blackberries and 2-3 tablespoons of the cardamom dressing.
