Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe mango
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed to thin the dressing)
Instructions
Peel the mango, remove the seed, and dice the flesh into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, add the diced mango, olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and the peeled garlic clove.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend until the desired consistency is achieved.
Season the dressing with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasonings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or honey to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over salads, grilled proteins, or use as a marinade. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
