I have been looking forward to having lobster salad out and when I found this recipe in my new WW cookbook I was overjoyed :)  and now even so more because it was just FABULOUS!!!  Here is a link to Jolie's  beautiful dish, she used a lobster tail and cooked it up herself, she is just too awesome.
I did not have a melon baller but I do have a strawberry hauler and it resembles a melon baller so I used it to scoop out the melon and it worked
great!                       

I need to do some research on selecting mango's, the one i picked was not as ripe as it should of been, that is the only thing I would change in this recipe, next time use a ripe mango.

  1. Yours turned out great! I think our dishes look almost identical in this one out of all the recipes we have made together.
