Sundays are usually our lazy days and a time that we like to spend with family. This past weekend we had Simon’s brother and his girlfriend over for a home-cooked Thai meal. One of my favourite things that we prepared was fresh Mango Salad. It was my first time making this dish and I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but it ended up being a huge hit! Thought I would share the recipe for those looking for a refreshing summer salad.
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving size: 6
Ingredients:
3 unripe mangos
1 sweet red pepper
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh lemon mint
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1 lime
2-3 Thai chilis
Instructions:
Julien the mangos and red pepper into long thin strips and throw them in a medium sized bowl. (This will be a lot easier if the mangos are not ripe).
Chop up fresh cilantro, lemon mint and Thai chilis (2 will make the salad medium spicy. for those more adventurous, add in 3, or even 4!) and add to the bowl, along with chopped peanuts.
Squeeze all the juice out of the lime and drizzle over the salad.
Mix all ingredients together, garnish with a couple whole chilis and serve!
If you try this recipe, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Enjoy!
