Lime Vinaigrette: 1. Place lime marmalade in a medium bowl and stir until lumps are dissolved. Add the lime juice and whisk until smooth. Stir in orange juice concentrate, mustard, salt, coriander and cayenne. 2. Slowly whisk in salad oil. Dressing should be smooth and emulsified. Salad: 1. Wash and dry greens, and cut or tear into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl and add died fruits, almonds and shrimp. 2. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of the Lime Vinaigrette and toss gently to coat salad evenly. 3. Serve immediately and pass or serve the remaining vinaigrette if more dressing is desired.

I swapped mango for the papaya (it was cheaper!), and it tasted great. Didn't have lime marmalade, but the dressing was good with just the lime juice. I sauteed the shrimp with some Old Bay and olive oil. Definitely will make it again!
