Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh mango (ripe but firm)
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Water (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
Peel and chop a fresh mango until you have 1/2 cup of mango pieces. Ensure the mango is ripe but firm to maintain a low glycemic impact.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped mango, coconut milk, olive oil, lime juice, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar.
Add stevia or erythritol for a touch of sweetness, if desired. This step is optional and based on personal taste preferences.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Check the consistency of the dressing. If it is too thick, gradually add water (1 tablespoon at a time) until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, or sweetener) as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Use the dressing within 5 days and store it in the refrigerator.
