If you’re looking to add a burst of tropical flavor to your salads, this Mango Salad Dressing is just the ticket. It’s a delightful combination of sweet mango, tangy lime, and a hint of heat from the chili pepper, making it the perfect accompaniment for your favorite greens, grilled chicken, or even as a dipping sauce for fresh veggies.

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped 🥭
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes) 🍈
• ¼ cup fresh orange juice 🍊
• 2 tablespoons honey 🍯
• ½ teaspoon cumin 🌿
• 1 clove garlic 🧄
• ½ teaspoon salt 🧂
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil 🫒
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped, medium heat chili pepper (such as Fresno or jalapeño) 🌶️
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro 🌿
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 🌶️

Instructions:

1. Blend the Base:
   Start by combining the chopped mango, lime juice, orange juice, honey, cumin, garlic, and salt in a blender. Puree on medium speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized jar. 🍯
2. Incorporate the Olive Oil:
   Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil to the mango mixture. Pour it in a slow, steady stream while stirring continuously with a fork or a small whisk. This ensures the oil is well incorporated, giving the dressing a rich texture. 🥄
3. Add Flavorful Finishes:
   Stir in the finely chopped chili pepper, cilantro, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste your dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed. 🌶️
4. Store and Serve:
   Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Make sure to shake it well before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients. ❄️

Quick Tips:

• Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chili pepper to suit your spice preference. For a milder dressing, use less chili or choose a milder variety.
• Versatility: This dressing pairs beautifully with a variety of salads, particularly those featuring grilled chicken, shrimp, or tropical fruits like avocado and pineapple.
• Storage: Keep your dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. The flavors meld together even more over time, making it even more delicious after a day or two.
