How to Make Green Mango Salad
Awaken your tastebuds with a tart bowl of Thai green mango salad. With coconuts and bean sprouts, grated mangoes are tossed in sweet salad dressing.
Ingredients
For Salad Dressing:
- 3 tbsp fish sauce, or ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp brown sugar, or more to taste
- 2 tsp Thai chili sauce, or ½ tsp dried chili flakes
For Salad:
- ¼ cup dry coconut, shredded, unsweetened
- 2 mangoes, firm, unripened
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- ½ cup fresh coriander, (cilantro) chopped
- 4 spring onions, sliced
- 1 cup chicken, or shrimp, or fried tofu, cooked, cut into small cubes
- 1 red chile, freshly chopped
- 1 handful peanuts, or cashews, left whole or roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup fresh basil
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
-
Mix together all the salad dressing ingredients in a bowl or cup. The dressing should be a mingling of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty, but more sweet than sour. Set aside.
- Place the coconut in a dry frying pan or wok.
-
"Dry-fry" the coconut, as if stir-frying it, 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, or until it turns a light golden-brown and is fragrant. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
-
Using a sharp paring knife, peel the skin from the mangoes. The flesh of the mangoes should be firm and light yellow-orange.
-
Using a medium to large grater, grate the flesh of the mangoes into a mixing bowl. Keep in mind there is a large flat stone at the mango's center.
-
Add the bean sprouts, coriander, and spring onions, and the cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and fresh-cut chile.
- Add half the toasted coconut and toss well to combine.
-
Add the dressing and toss again. Taste, and add more fish sauce or soy sauce instead of salt if needed.
- Place on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the nuts, basil, and remaining toasted coconut over the top and serve.
Recipe Notes
If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more sugar, or honey. If you prefer more spice, add more chili sauce. If too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
