Naked Mango Salad

Peppery arugula. sweet, sexy mango, nuts for crunch and interest and an easy-peasy dressing -- this is one of my summer must-haves.  You can toss this salad, but with the gold of the mango and bright green arugula, it's lovely composed, and very easy.  Arrange arugula on a plate -- don't struggle, just spread it evenly.  Scatter mango pieces and nuts on top and pour dressing over all.  Give a grind of fresh pepper and eat at once.
