Instructions
Begin by preparing the mango. Peel and dice one medium mango, making sure to remove the pit.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the blender. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate the spices.
Check the consistency. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of water for a thinner consistency. Blend again until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tang or honey for sweetness as desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve the mango vinaigrette drizzled over your favorite salad greens or as a tangy marinade for poultry or fish.
