Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1 cup diced) Ripe mango
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 small clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the mango, discarding the seed. Make sure the mango is ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, fresh lime juice, coconut water, olive oil, honey (or agave syrup), grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high until it is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or acidity, if desired. You can add a bit more honey/agave for sweetness or lime juice for tanginess based on personal preference.
Step 5
If using cilantro, stir in the chopped cilantro after blending and mix gently.
Step 6
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Step 7
Use the dressing as a topping for salads, grilled vegetables, or as a dip for fresh fruit. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
