Green Mango Salad Recipe
|
|
Although the sweet orange, yellow mangoes
and papayas are devoured in vast quantities when ripe and juicy, they are
also popular when unripe and green. Piled high in baskets in the markets,
they are sold as a vegetable rather than a fruit because the tart and
crunchy texture is sought after for salads and stews. This simple salad
has a refreshingly tangy, sweet flavor and a lovely texture, and is
delicious served with steamed or stir-fried shrimps, and with grilled or
seared beef. Green mangoes have dark green skins and light green flesh and
can be found in Chinese and Asian markets. Ingredients :
