Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the mango by peeling, pitting, and dicing it into smaller chunks for easy blending.
2. In a blender or food processor, add the diced mango, lime juice, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
3. Begin blending the ingredients until smooth and creamy. For a thinner consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired texture is reached.
4. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, blending briefly to incorporate.
5. Taste the dressing and adjust flavors as necessary. Add more lime juice for extra tang, or a touch of sweetener if your mango is not sufficiently sweet.
6. Transfer the mango dressing to a small jar or container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
7. Serve over fresh greens, grain bowls, or use as a dipping sauce for veggies.
