This mango salad recipe is perfect for a summer side dish. It has a simple list of fresh ingredients, can be prepared in 20 minutes, and is incredibly bright and refreshing.
This dish's textures and flavors are varied, which I enjoy. The mango is sweet and slippery, and when you bite into it, it almost seems creamy.
I add crispy bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeños for a spicy kick. Peanuts add crunch, and a spicy lime dressing brings everything together.
A generous handful of fresh herbs (such as peppery basil and calming mint) elevates the dish.
This mango salad dish would be a daring variation to a traditional fruit salad for a summer party, but it's too excellent to keep just for special occasions.
Serve as a side dish for any evening dinner. You will like the burst of freshness it adds to your meal.
Mango, of course! Any kind will work, but I really enjoy yellow mangos, sometimes known as Ataulfo mangos. They have a lovely creamy texture and a tangy, honey-like flavour.
Red bell pepper and red onion - for crunch. Jalapeño - Provides heat. Fresh basil and mint make this salad fragrant, tasty, and refreshing! Cilantro might also work well here.
