I never use mangoes in anything but this sounded so good, I gave it a shot.
Green Mango Salad (from EveryDay Food magazine)
2 TBSP fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
2 TBSP fish sauce (nam pla), plus more to taste
1 tsp sugar, plus more to taste
2 green mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into thin strips
3 scallions, very thinly sliced
1/4 C fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 C fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 TBSP chopped peanuts
1/2 tsp red-pepper flakes
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add mangoes, scallions, cilantro and mint and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Top with chopped peanuts and red-pepper flakes.
I loved this. It was fresh, juicy, sweet, sour and salty all at once. I served it with grilled pork chops and take-and-bake bread. It would be good with chicken or fish as well. My husband liked it, but wouldn't be super excited if I made it again. He isn't much of a fruit or veggie person, so take that for what it is. The proportions, taste-wise, for the dressing were great, but it seemed like a lot of dressing to me. I'd probably add another mango if I made it again. Also, I would take suggestions on the best way to pit and slice a mango.
