Bright, fresh, and packed with flavor, this Spicy Thai Mango Salad is the perfect summer dish that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with a spicy kick. Tossed in a tangy lime vinaigrette and topped with crunchy peanuts, this salad is not only delicious but also visually stunning.
Using fresh herbs like cilantro and mint elevates the taste, while the combination of textures—crunchy peanuts and juicy mango—will keep your taste buds dancing. Prepare to impress your guests with this vibrant salad, ideal as a side dish or a light meal on its own!
For the best flavor, use ripe, yet firm mangoes. If you can’t find fresh mangoes, consider using canned mango slices in natural juice, drained well. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes according to your preference.
This salad can be made ahead of time; however, it’s best to add the peanuts just before serving to maintain their crunchiness. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
