Sweet + Sour = Perfect Together in this refreshing perfect-for-spring Mango Salad with Silan and Lime dressing.
This salad will give you an excuse to always keep silan in your pantry and fresh limes in your fridge. Frankly, I make this salad using whatever produce I have available…the only constant so far as been the mangos. The first few times, I included avocado but not the citrus…one time I threw in hearts of palm. One time I was missing Craisins and another time nuts. There’s lots of combinations that can benefit from the lip-smacking dressing that results from the sweetness of silan and the perfect tartness of fresh lime. Make it your own and enjoy.
