Sweet and Spicy Mango Salad Dressing
Description
The Sweet and Spicy Mango Salad Dressing starts with a puree of ripe mango combined with fresh lime and orange juices and sweetened with honey. Ground cumin and raw garlic add warmth and a subtle pungency. Blended smoothly, it is then stirred with high-quality extra virgin olive oil to form an emulsion that coats salad ingredients evenly.
Fresh chili pepper introduces medium heat while chopped cilantro contributes herbal brightness, complemented by a touch of freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. The resulting dressing is thick, vivid, and flavorful with a pleasant balance between sweet, tart, spicy, and savory notes.
This dressing can be used to elevate fresh garden salads or fruit-based salads, providing an accessible and bold flavor. It is stored chilled and shaken well before use to maintain its creamy consistency and fresh taste.
