  Editor's note: The recipe below is part of a healthy and delicious spa menu developed exclusively for Epicurious by executive chef Mary Nearn of Miraval Life in Balance Spa.

  

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  

Creamy mango dressing

1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped (or 1 1/4 cups frozen mango cubes, thawed)

  4 teaspoons nonfat plain yogurt

  3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  

Salad

12 medium asparagus spears, trimmed and lower half peeled

  3 cups (3 ounces) baby spinach leaves

  8 arugula leaves

  1/4 fresh mango, finely diced

  2 teaspoons fresh chives, sliced into 1/2-inch lengths

  1/2 teaspoon olive oil

  3 ounces prosciutto, sliced into thin ribbons*

  *To thinly slice the prosciutto, pile up the slices, roll them into a cigar, then thinly slice crosswise and peel apart the resulting ribbons.

  

Make dressing

Step 1

In blender, purée mango, yogurt, and vinegar until silky smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper and set aside.

  

Make salad

Step 2

Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In medium saucepan over high heat, bring salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and boil, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, then immediately plunge spears into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry.

  

Step 3

In medium bowl, toss together spinach and arugula.

  

Step 4

In small bowl, toss mango and chives with olive oil.

  

Step 5

To plate, pour 1/4 cup mango dressing into center of each of 4 plates. Lay three asparagus spears side-by-side over each pool of dressing, then top each with 1/4 of salad greens. Sprinkle with mango-chive mixture, then top with prosciutto.
