Green Mango Salad

Green Mango Salad is such a nice salad which can be prepared easily at home with the very simple recipe, which follows:

Peeling young mango skin, then slice finely, soak in salty water( not lots of salt) for a while. The spring onions and celery need to be chopped into 4cm lengths and the carrots sliced finely.

Dressing: 10 sugar, 8 fish sauce, 5 lime sauce. Chilli, garlic, coriander chopped finely. The dressing is best prepared in a blender

Add the dressing and only 5 minutes before serving the dish.

    My goodness, this is one of my favorite food! Of course, in Asia, we all have different versions of the same thing. I like the Vietnamese touch with the coriander and the lime sauce. Thai as well with the coconut milk and nuts. Pinoy version with the fermented fish on the sides. Richness in diversity indeed!

  5. Hi all,
    I know green mango is hard to find in some places, even in Viet Nam, because it's seasonal fruit. But I am sure this is a really good cold dish that everyone should have a go.
    Happy New Year everyone!!!

  11. I had never tasted a green salad with mango I think this is a good combination specially if we add a little bit of salt and lemon.
