🥕 Ingredients Notes
This quick and refreshing mango salad requires only a few ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- green mango – Essential for this recipe, you must use raw mangoes. Although it may look yellow/orange inside, the mango should be firm and crisp as opposed to a ripe mango.
- the carrot
- cucumber – For a crisp and refreshing texture, preferably Persian cucumber.
- I am Willow – To make it easier, I went with regular soy sauce. If you have access to vegan fish sauce, use it, the salad will taste even better!
- sugar – You can use granulated sugar, coconut sugar or maple syrup. The sugar helps balance the saltiness of the mango and the subtle tamarindiness.
- Chilli sauce – Optional. It brings some heat! Want to learn to make your own? Check out this homemade sweet chili sauce recipe.
- Lemon juice – For freshness and citrus taste. I recommend using fresh lime juice for best flavor.
- peanuts – Prefer roasted peanuts. You can also use roasted cashews.
- Fried shallots – or fried onions, for crispiness.
- cilantro – It tastes even better if you can get your hands on Vietnamese cilantro and Thai basil.
