Mango Salad
Description
This Mango Salad features peeled, sliced mango mixed with crisp red bell pepper strips, thin red onion slices, and jalapeño for a touch of heat. Fresh basil and mint leaves lend aromatic herbal notes and are folded in with toasted peanuts that add texture and a nutty flavor counterpoint.
The dressing is a harmonious blend of fresh lime juice, smooth avocado oil, savory tamari, a hint of honey for sweetness, freshly grated ginger for warmth, and sea salt to round out the flavors. Tossed all together, the salad offers a refreshing mix of sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory elements with a satisfying crunch from the peanuts.
This salad is best served immediately to retain the freshness and crispness of the ingredients. It can be a vibrant side dish or appetizer, especially appealing in warm weather with its bright and balanced flavors.
