- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
- Transfer the salad to a serving plate & garnish with extra peanuts, a fresh squeeze of lime, and Thai basil.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Thai Basil: The best substitute for Thai basil is sweet Italian basil. It has a milder taste, so I recommend adding ⅓ cup, not ¼ cup, for this Thai mango salad recipe.
- Green Mangos: Green mangos indicate that the mango is not ripe yet. I love the natural sweetness of ripe mangos for this Thai basil salad; however, you can use green mangos too. The texture will be firmers, and the salad will be less sweet.
- Serving: You can serve it with this simple grilled chicken, these air fryer boneless chicken thighs, or this air fryer teriyaki chicken. If you’re craving seafood, try these furikake salmon bowls, air fryer tilapia, or these baja shrimp tacos.
- Make Ahead: Thai mango salad is great for meal prep. You can easily make it ahead of time for lunches or for an event or party. Simply prepare both the dressing and salad and store them in separate airtight containers – do not dress the salad! Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve, toss the mango salad in the lime dressing and enjoy!
- Storing: For best results, keep any leftover Thai mango salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
