Fiery Sweet & Tangy Thai Mango Salad Ready in Minutes 🌶️🥭🥢
Ingredients:
2 large unripe Green Mangoes, peeled and julienned (about 4 cups / 500g)
1/4 cup (60ml) Fresh Lime Juice
2 tablespoons (30ml) Fish Sauce (or Soy Sauce/Tamari for vegan)
1-2 tablespoons (15-30g) Coconut Sugar or Brown Sugar (adjust to taste)
1-3 Thai Chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Mint Leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Cilantro Leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup (35g) Roasted Peanuts, roughly chopped
1 small Red Onion or 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
Optional: 1/4 cup (40g) Toasted Cashews, 2 tablespoons (30g) Dried Shrimp (if not vegan)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Mango: Peel the green mangoes. Using a mandoline slicer, a julienne peeler, or a sharp knife, cut the mango flesh into thin matchsticks. Place into a large bowl.
2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce (or soy sauce/tamari), coconut sugar, and chopped Thai chilies until the sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness, sourness, or spice level as needed.
3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the julienned mangoes. Add the sliced red onion/shallots, chopped mint, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to combine everything well.
4. Add Peanuts: Just before serving, add the roasted peanuts (and cashews/dried shrimp if using) and toss lightly again to maintain their crunch.
5. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter immediately. Enjoy the vibrant, spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors!
