YourProduceGuy shows you how to make a delicious Vietnamese Green Mango Salad. I love mangos but it can be agony waiting for them to ripen. This is a wonderful recipe I found at www.herbivoracious.com by chef Michael Natkin. I’ve modified it a little bit to suit my own taste. Make sure to check out his food blog at the link I just mentioned.
Recipe-
1/3 cup lime juice
4 tablespoons palm sugar or half white sugar, half light brown
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 underripe mangos cut into medium batons (see photo)
1/2 small red onion, cut into very thin rings and soaked briefly in cold water
1 small green chili (Thai bird, or if not handy, jalapeno or serrano can be fine too) (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 handful cilantro or mint leaves (or a mixture)
If using palm sugar, crush first in mortar and pestle. It may help to microwave a bit and/or moisten. Combine the lime juice, sugar, ginger, salt, and sesame oil. Shake well to dissolve the sugar. Taste and adjust the balance of flavors. It should be fairly sweet.
Just before serving, combine the dressing with the mango, red onion, green chili, most of the sesame seeds and most of the herbs.
Garnish with the remaining sesame seeds and herbs.
