Ingredients
Dressing
- 1½ tbsp thinly sliced lemongrass stalk
- 3 medium sized shallots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 ½ tbsp sugar (brown, raw or palm)
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp lime juice
Salad
- 4 green elephant mangoes, shredded
- 1 sweet green mango, shredded
- 1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup dried shrimp (optional)
- 1 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, crushed
- ¼ cup coriander, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup Thai basil leaves
- ¼ cup Vietnamese mint leaves
- ¼ cup fish mint leaves (see note)
- ¼ cup mint leaves
- 1 long red chilli (or to taste), sliced, and/or starfruit, to serve, optional
Instructions
1. Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, pound/blend all dressing ingredients to a fine paste.
2. Place the mango in a medium-large mixing bowl with the dressing, red onion, dried shrimp and half the peanuts, then mix thoroughly. Add the herbs and toss gently.
3. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with the rest of the peanuts and the sliced chilli. Optionally, serve on a bed of rocket or salad greens with grilled fish or chicken to accompany.
Note
• All fresh herbs, including fish mint, and the optional dried shrimp can be found at select Asian grocery stores. The salad is best eaten fresh but will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
