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:
- 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. 🍯 - 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. 🥄 - 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. 🌶️ - 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.
