Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit. Roughly chop the mango pieces and add them to a blender or food processor.
Add extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice for acidity, honey for sweetness, or salt and pepper as desired.
If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the mango dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the dressing drizzled over your favorite Mediterranean salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted fish. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
