Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 medium or 2 large ripe mangos, peeled and sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into thin strips
  • ¼ medium red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed fresh basil and mint leaves, reserve some for garnish
  • ½ cup chopped, toasted peanuts, reserve some for garnish

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • ½ teaspoon honey or agave nectar
  • ¼ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, toss together the sliced mango, red bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and jalapeño to mix all the fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, avocado oil, tamari, honey or agave nectar, grated fresh ginger, and sea salt until well combined to create a tangy and flavorful dressing.
  3. Toss the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the mango and vegetable mix, then toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
  4. Add herbs and peanuts: Add the fresh basil and mint leaves along with the toasted chopped peanuts to the salad, then toss again gently to combine while preserving the texture.
  5. Serve: Season the salad to taste if needed, garnish with the reserved fresh herbs and peanuts for added freshness and crunch, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier salad, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add extra slices.
  • Substitute tamari with soy sauce if gluten is not a concern.
  • Use agave nectar instead of honey to keep the dressing vegan.
  • Toasting peanuts enhances their flavor and crunchiness.
  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the ingredients.
