Ingredients

• 1 large (about 1 cup of diced flesh) Ripe mango
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (for vegan option)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mango and remove the flesh, discarding the pit. Dice the mango into small pieces for easier blending.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, olive oil, coconut milk, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 3

Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.

Step 4

If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more lime juice for extra tang, a pinch of salt, or a touch more honey or maple syrup for sweetness.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Serve over salads, use as a dipping sauce, or drizzle over grain bowls. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
