Spicy Thai Mango Salad
By hungryaphrodite, Hungry Aphrodite
Cold salads on wintry January days aren’t easy
- 1 mango (green and firm on the outside), peeled and julienned or roughly cut into long strips
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1-2 spicy red chillies, finely chopped
- 4 green beans, cut into small pieces
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 2-3 teaspoons fish sauce (or vegetarian friendly fish sauce)
- 2 teaspoons palm sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- A few peanuts for crunch
- Optional: Chopped basil and/or coriander leaves (I didn’t have any at home but would have tasted delicious in the salad)
