Thai Green Mango Salad
From lanijoy 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 firm green mangoes (I use half ripe if I can't find green; I know it's not the same at all, but still so good) shopping list
- 1/4 c. dry shredded unsweetened coconut (like you use for baking) DIVIDED shopping list
- 2 c. bean sprouts shopping list
- 1/2 c. fresh basil shopping list
- 3 to 4 green onions, sliced shopping list
- GARNISH: a handful of peanuts or cashews, whole or roughly chopped shopping list
- OPTIONAL PROTEIN: 1 c. cooked and cubed chicken, cooked shrimp, deep-fried tofu cut into cubes shopping list
- salad dressing shopping list
- 2 T. fish sauce (use soy sauce if you really really can't find fish sauce, a Vietnamese ingredient) shopping list
- 2 T. lime juice shopping list
- 1 T. brown sugar shopping list
- 1 to 2 fresh chilies, de-seeded and minced or 1 to 2 teaspoons Thai chili sauce shopping list
How to make it
- Dry fry the coconut (place in a frying pan with no oil) for 2 or 3 minutes over medium heat, until it turns a light golden brown and is fragrant. Remove quickly to a bowl and set aside.
- Peel mangoes and discard skin
- Grate the mangoes on the large part of the grater. Grate right into the mixing bowl. Avoid grating the pit in the center.
- Prepare dressing by mixing all ingredients into a cup; set aside.
- Add bean sprouts, basil, green onions, protein if using, and HALF the coconut to the mango. Toss well.
- Add dressing and toss again.
- Place on platter. Sprinkle nuts on top and then the remaining toasted coconut.
- TO MAKE AHEAD: grate the mango and leave it covered in the fridge. Can also toast the coconut and make the dressing.
