Sweet & Spicy Thai Mango Salad

A bright, refreshing Thai‐style salad featuring sweet ripe mango, crisp vegetables and herbs, dressed in a zingy sweet‐and‐spicy lime vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large mangoes, peeled and cut into strips
  • ½ cucumber, cut into matchsticks
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Thai red chili, stemmed, seeded and very thinly sliced
  • ½ cup peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup fresh mint, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, coconut aminos, fish sauce, honey and sesame oil until well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mango strips, cucumber, red onion, chili, mint and cilantro.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top just before serving for extra crunch.

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.
