Salad Ingredients
1 large ripe mango, peeled and sliced into thin strips
Make Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, lime juice and zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, and fish sauce or soy sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.
Prepare Salad: In a serving bowl, add the sliced mango, bean sprouts, chopped red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped green onion. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.
Toss with Dressing: Just before serving, pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust Sweetness if Needed: If the mangoes are tart, add a splash of maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, or additional sweet chili sauce to balance the flavors.
Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
Notes
The recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger servings.
Use ripe, sweet mangoes for best flavor and texture.
Fresh bean sprouts add crunchy texture but can be substituted with shredded cabbage if unavailable.
If fish sauce is not preferred, use light soy sauce as a vegetarian alternative.
Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic according to your taste preference.
