Thai Mango Salad

I love mangoes – from starters to main dish, drinks, and of course, desserts. But during the off-season months, when mangoes are not very sweet but not too sour either, one way I like to use them is to make Thai Mango salad. The soft, julienned mangoes mixed with crunchy carrots, bell peppers, red onions, and cashews give a refreshing taste and wonderful texture. The sweet, salty, and a bit spicy dressing gives an extra kick! Pair this Thai mango salad with any grilled or fried meat or seafood to have a flavorful and balanced meal.

Thai Mango Salad
For this recipe of Thai Mango Salad, you need to julienne the mangoes and all the other vegetables.

How to Julienne A Mango

  1. Peel the mango using a standard vegetable peeler.
  2. Cut lengthwise along the flat side of the pit giving you the most meat.
  3. Take each sliced mango you made and further slice it lengthwise to make shoestring srips.

Here’s a helpful You Tube video on how to julienne a mango.

Here’s What You’ll Need

TOOLS & EQUIPMENT:

  • chopping board
  • knife
  • large mixing bowl
  • vegetable peeler
  • whisk

INGREDIENTS:

For the Salad:

  • 1 large or 2 small fresh, ripe but firm mangoes (I was able to get around 300 grams of julienned mangoes*)
    • You can use red mangoes, ataulfo mangoes, thai green mangoes or any other variety. The key is that the mangoes should be firm when sliced. Don’t use frozen mangoes as they tend to be very soft and limp once defrosted.
  • 1 small red bell pepper (I used about 90 grams*), seeded and thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 medium carrot (I used about 100 grams*) thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (I used about 60 grams*)
  • 1/3 cup roasted/ toasted and unsalted cashews
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 1 red bird’s eye chili, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

*The amounts stated are a guide only. You can add or lessen the amount of bell pepper, carrots and onions according to your liking.

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Notes

(Note 1) You can use red mangoes, ataulfo mangoes, Thai green mangoes or any other variety. The key is that the mangoes should be firm when sliced. Don’t use frozen mangoes as they tend to be very soft and limp once defrosted.
(Note 2) The measurements for the vegetables are not really strict. Not a fan of onions? You can lessen the amount. Feel free to adjust according to your liking.
(Note 3) STORAGE. Best to be consumed within the same day it was made, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days.
