Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon palm sugar (or regular sugar)
- 1 fresh red chili pepper , sliced (*Footnote 1)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 3 ripe mangoes , peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice (*Footnote 2)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves , finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons shallots , fried (or French fried onion)
- 1/3 cup roasted cashew
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by combining the lime juice, palm sugar, chili, and salt in a small bowl. Stir to mix well and set aside.
- Combine the mango and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss to mix well. If you plan to serve the dish later, you should transfer everything into a sealed container and store it in the fridge, up to 1 day.
- Toss in the cashews and fried shallots. Mix well and serve as an appetizer.
Notes
- The original recipe calls for 1 finely chopped bird’s-eye chili, which yields a super spicy result. I changed it to a red Fresno chili pepper for a milder taste. You can use a different type of pepper depending on your taste.
- I used small yellow mangoes in the recipe. If you use the large red mangoes, reduce the quantity to 2 mangoes.
