Ingredients
For The Mango Salad
- 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed and thinly sliced
- 1/4 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
- 2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 teaspoons agave or honey
- 1-2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper (or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes)
- 1 tbsp neutral tasting oil, (I use avocado oil)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Layer the sliced mango, peppers and onions on a large serving platter or shallow bowl. Sprinkle with chopped basil and cilantro.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, agave (or sweetener of choice), Aleppo pepper, oil and salt.
- Drizzle the dressing over the mango salad. Garnish with chopped herbs and sprinkle with a pinch more Aleppo pepper to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Aleppo pepper: Adds just a hint of spice to this savory-sweet salad, as well as tangy flavours. If you can't find it, you can use a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Storage: This mango salad is best eaten shortly after it is assembled. To make a few hours ahead, prepare the salad and dressing but don't combine until ready to serve. Leftovers can be stores in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
