Now that the days are really beginning to stretch, it really does feel like summer is just around the corner. There nothing like a tasty salad to remind you of this, even if the weather is a bit of a mix bag of late. This lovely light and refreshing salad is a healthy alternate to the typical tuna mayo salad. The lovely moist tuna, along with the crunchy pepper, is nicely balanced by the sweet mango, and feta cheese. This is also great a side dish with dinner, or great for a pot luck or summer BBQ.
