Thai · Salad · 15 min total

A tangy, spicy, and refreshing Thai-style salad made with unripe green mango, perfect as a side dish or light appetizer.

Ingredients

• 2 large green mangoes (firm, unripe), peeled and julienned
• 1/2 cup shredded carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
• 2 tablespoons dried shrimp (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1-2 Thai bird chilies, minced (adjust to taste)
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, minced chilies, and garlic until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine julienned green mango, shredded carrot, cilantro, peanuts, and dried shrimp (if using).
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, fish sauce, or sugar as needed.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with extra peanuts and cilantro.

Tips

• Use a mandoline or julienne peeler for even mango strips.
• For a vegetarian version, substitute fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
• Best served fresh; the salad will become soggy if stored.
• Adjust chilies to your preferred spice level.
