Asian-Inspired Green Mango Salad

Unripe mango is perfect for a refreshing salad spiced with red chilies, Asian shallots, and fish sauce. Try this as a fun topping for burgers, tacos, or on its own as a flavorful salad.

We were on a trip through Thailand and during a stop somewhere along the way in a small and rather dodgy little restaurant, Sandra our guide, told us that we should really try the green mango salad. Now I am a real mango fan, but eating an unripe mango did not immediately strike me as the ultimate culinary delight. But it was shockingly hot that day and a nice refreshing salad sounded like just the thing I needed. But one bite of the stuff and I was convinced. This was soooo good. Sweet, salty, bitter… Perfect for hot weather! If you have another, more authenthic recipe, than please feel free to share.
