mango with walnut salad

Written By Robin Wade

Here's a pic of the very simple salad we enjoyed Sunday - mango with walnuts.  I really can't remember eating mango's that much as a kid.  Don't know if they weren't avaialble, or we just weren't in the know.  But this big/old kid grabs a few whenever they are available and looking good at the market.  I think it might have been our friends from Guatamala, Guillermo and Ingrid that joined us for the Atlanta Olympics (whew, remember that one!) that might have taught us to appreciate Mango's in their many forms.  Mango with walnut salad.mango with walnut salad

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
