Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1 cup of diced flesh) Ripe mango
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (for vegan option)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Peel the mango and remove the flesh, discarding the pit. Dice the mango into small pieces for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, olive oil, coconut milk, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, ground ginger, and salt.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more lime juice for extra tang, a pinch of salt, or a touch more honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve over salads, use as a dipping sauce, or drizzle over grain bowls. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
