I'm looking for a simple but elegant salad to serve at brunch or dinner. Something other than the usual salads people serve, such as a Caesar salad and seven-layer salad, etc. I love colorful salads, the kind that you just want to dive right into with a fork. I especially like salads that pair dark green lettuce with sweet fresh fruit.

This salad does exactly that, with arugula leaves and fresh mango. The kalamata olives add some welcome zing and saltiness. The six salad ingredients come together so well visually and on your taste palate.

Each serving has only 100 calories, and the majority of fat grams come from the more healthier monounsaturated fats.

It's simply beautiful and it tastes terrific with only six ingredients (including the dressing). Feel free to sprinkle some toasted walnuts or pecans over the top of each salad serving; nuts work well with the other flavors and textures.

Note: Arugula is about the size of baby spinach leaves and is available in higher-end grocery stores or produce markets.
