Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango: Peel and chop a ripe mango into small cubes for easier blending. The mango should be soft to the touch, signaling maximum sweetness.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the chopped mango, fresh lime juice, honey, red chili flakes, grated fresh ginger, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly Add Olive Oil: With the blender running on low speed, drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil gradually to emulsify the dressing and achieve a silky texture.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Give your dressing a taste and adjust seasonings as needed — add more chili flakes for heat, sweetener for sweetness, or lime juice for acidity.
  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and flavor intensity.
  • Blend thoroughly to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Adjust the sweet, spicy, and acidic elements to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use fresh lime juice and ginger for the brightest, most vibrant dressing.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
