Ingredients
 

  • 1 medium unripe green mango
  • 1 small carrot
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/2 cup Vietnamese cilantro or regular cilantro, Thai basil
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup fried shallots

Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the mango and vegetables: Peel the mango and carrot, and grate them into long strips using a vegetable grater or a food processor fitted with the grater disc. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Thinly slice the cucumber into strips and add it to the bowl.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and sweet chili sauce.
  • Pour the dressing into the bowl and toss to coat. Add the Vietnamese cilantro, roasted peanuts, and fried shallots and stir again. Serve immediately!
  • This salad is best served the same day but will keep for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Do not substitute ripe mango for green mango. It simply won't work, and you will not be able to grate it. On top of that, the salad would be too sweet.
  • Tweak it to your liking. Add sautéed mushrooms, tofu, vegan chicken, or vegan sausage for a heartier salad!
  • Taste and adjust seasonings. Depending on the size of your mango and the brand of soy sauce/fish sauce used, you might have to adjust the saltiness to taste. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed.
