I am usually not a big fan of salad dressings, but for this particular dressing I gladly make an exception. Creamy, sweet and zesty. Flavorful, summer-y, healthy and very versatile. The only downfall? It’s quite addictive!
Salad
* Arugula (rocket)
* Avocado
* Mango
* Cucumber
* Mango Coconut Dressing
Mango Coconut Dressing
* 6 tablespoons coconut oil, liquid
* 1 very ripe mango
* juice of one lemon
* fresh grated ginger, to taste
* 2-4 Tbsp raw honey or a few fresh, pitted dates
Blend all dressing ingredients together and store in a glass jar in the fridge.
Make sure to pick a very ripe mango. The riper and stringier the mango, the thicker your sauce. If you want a thin dressing a normal ripe mango is good. If you want a thicker dressing, to use as a dip or even pie filling, use an overripe, stringy mango, and use dates instead of honey. Consider using less oil as well. I bet the dip would go great with celery stalks, yum!
Let me know how you like this dressing and your favorite use for it!
Yumballs this looks amazing and very summery. The ginger sealed the deal for me! x

I hardly put fruits in my salads but judging from this post I really should start!

Oh me too! It’s a pet peeve really, finding a fruit in a savory dish lol. But this all goes together really well, somehow!
