- 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
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, coconut aminos, fish sauce, honey and sesame oil until well combined.
- In a large bowl, combine mango strips, cucumber, red onion, chili, mint and cilantro.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- 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.
