Sweet Thai mango salad with shrimp

Thai mango salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish that combines a perfect balance of flavors—sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. It’s typically made with shredded green mango, which has a tart flavor that provides a crisp, crunchy texture. Since I love the taste of sweet mango and I had a nice, ripe, sweet one from Peru, I used that. And I added shrimp to make a whole meal.

The hero ingredient is mango. Lets peel it and cut it into halves and slice those. I left the slices rather large, because, as I said, i like mango

Chop up a bit of cilantro for its sharp, zesty flavor.

Slice a quarter of a red bell pepper cut into matchsticks.

Add some crisp bean sprouts.

Some chopped kale from a salad kit.

And cooked cocktail shrimp. I like removing the tails before they get covered in sauce.

Some thinly julienned onion. Here I prefer the more delicate taste of a shallot for this recipe.

Now to make the salad dressing, everyone says use fish sauce. I did not have any so I used soy sauce, and sesame oil, and lime juice. And a bit of red chili flakes.

Mix that all well and your done.

The sweet mango makes this unique, wonderful fusion of tastes.
