Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango
- 0.25 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (optional for thinning) water
Instructions
Peel and dice the ripe mango, discarding the pit, and place the mango flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh orange juice, lime juice, and grated ginger to the blender for a zesty, tropical base.
Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk for creaminess, followed by the apple cider vinegar and dijon mustard to add a bit of tang.
Sprinkle in the ground turmeric and salt to enhance the flavor and give the dressing a beautiful golden hue.
Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to adjust to your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over fresh greens, grain bowls, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
