Green Mango Salad, Pinoy style
Apr 23

My college classmates held our usual quarterly reunion two weeks ago. I love that it was held this time in Imelda’s house. She is a fantastic cook. I think most of us (we are all BS Food Technology graduates) have this gift of cooking. These reunion is one way to brush up on the latest dishes or recipes.
One of the dishes she prepared that night was Green Mango salad. I love this salad. Low in calories and easy to prepare. She eagerly shared me her recipe when I asked her for it. I modified it a bit to my taste with optional variations.
Here is how it goes.
2 green mangoes (firm Carabao variety) cut into fine strips
1/2 cup sliced sibuyas tagalog
12 cup sliced coriander (wansoy or cilantro)
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
2-4 labuyo chopped
6 to 8 Tablespoon sugar or to taste
1 Tablespoon salt or to taste
Optional
1. add 3-4 spring onions, sliced
2. some peanuts or cashew nuts, whole or chopped










Mmm sarap! I don’t think I’ve tried this before. The only dish I know how to make with green mangoes is Bagoong fried rice.
i can’t wait to hit the beach and try this recipe! my friends will surely love this!
Looks yummy to me. But, can I also try it with Indian Mango? For those who like it less maasim.
