Mango salad – a refreshing summer salad made with ripe and raw mangoes with a spicy, sweet and tangy dressing.
It’s mango season and I like to make the most of the mangoes till they are available. So, it’s no wonder, that I have been posting mango recipes, back to back… After the ambe dal, methamba, raw mango curry, ambe upkari, today I am here with a refreshing salad.
This vibrant looking mango salad is full of flavours and is a huge hit with everyone at home. I have used ripe mango, raw mango, cucumber, red bell pepper, onions, coriander leaves and mint leaves to make this salad. For the dressing, I have used olive oil, lemon juice, honey, red chilli flakes and black pepper powder.
Mango salad makes for a great salad on its own and I can have bowls of this salad just like that. You can enjoy this salad as a side dish with your main meals or can even pair it with grilled paneer, chicken or fish. Do try this mango salad and I guarantee that you will be left wanting for more.
