1. How to Make Mango Salad Recipe The best thing that you can do when you love cooking is trying out different things — Moving an ingredient here and there, experimenting, and creating new fantasies. I love food (Of course all do), I love cooking, and I love Mangoes. And these are the reasons enough to try something that satisfies your taste buds. It’s like everyone loves mangoes — eating them raw, having a smoothie, a chutney, or in any way. So, why not try something new? That’s tangy, that has the sweetness of mangoes and a little more spiciness. So here I am with a new recipe — A ​Mango Salad recipe​. This dish is perfect for an evening dinner with your loved ones. This has a lot of mangoes in it to satisfy your cravings.

3. The salad recipe lately is my personal favorite — It’s so full of tanginess, the natural sweetness of mangoes, and the added spices. It is one of the best side dishes in the season of Mangoes that everyone relishes. Though anyone can hardly concentrate when you have mangoes in front of you — But this dish looks so colorful, bright, and tempting that you will notice each of the

4. ingredients on your plate. This is the joy of cooking when you get the best of everything your make and everyone loves the dish with their heart. The salad recipe, or shall I say simple Mango recipe is so easy to make with little to no effort, and basic ingredients of your kitchen. My five-ingredient recipe — I make this recipe with 5 ingredients and with a little more things that I use for the dressing of the mango salad. Let’s know the Ingredients. The ingredients that go into this salad are Mangoes, Basil, Onion, Bell Pepper (I use Red Bell pepper, and it goes best with the mangoes), and Cilantro. If you do not have the Basil — Add a little more Cilantro and if you don’t have the Cilantro either then add parsley or mint.

5. The thing you should know - 1. Mangoes: There are a lot and different kinds of Mangoes available. Since it’s the season of mangoes you can find Irwin, Ataulfo, and many more. But if you ask me, This Mango Salad recipe goes best with Alphonso’s. 2. Chili Flakes: A dash of chili flakes — Okay! Not a dash but a little more of chili flakes add spiciness to the dish. You will find the exact proportion in the details below. But you can always lower it down or add a little more to adjust your taste. 3. Cilantro: Cilantro adds a nice flavor and freshness to the salad. If Cilantro is not available, you can add parsley or mint leaves. I prefer substituting it for Mint leaves. Where Cilantro is on the citrus side but mild, the mint leaves are stronger and have a cooling effect.

6. 4. Oil: This recipe asks for a little oil for the dressing. Though Olive oil is healthy and often used in salad dressings, I suggest you go for something with a neutral taste as Olive oil can be on the dominating side. 5. Basil: Basil has its own taste and flavor. But don’t worry if in case you do not have basil. Skip it altogether and add a little more Cilantro or the substitutes.
