- 1 tbsp fish sauce
 
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
 
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
 
		 
	 
	
		
		
			
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, coconut aminos, fish sauce, honey and sesame oil until well combined.

		Notes
		
			
- You can substitute coconut aminos with tamari or soy sauce.
 
- For extra protein, toss in cooked shrimp or sliced grilled chicken.
 
- Use green mangoes for a tarter version, or ripe mangoes for a sweeter salad.
 
- Salad is best eaten immediately; leftovers will soften over time.
