Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 medium mangoes (I used honey mangoes but you can use any variety)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A quarter of a medium-sized red onion, sliced
- 2 mini cucumbers, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups grape/cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, about 1/2 lime
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Fresh mint for garnishing
Sweet Chili Lime Dressing
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave/maple syrup
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Make the sweet chili lime dressing first. Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Alternatively you can blend the dressing ingredients together. Set aside.
- Slice the mangoes into slices, or you could also cube the mangoes. Slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes and set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl around the pan. Place the mango slices in the griddle. Add 1 tablespoon of the chili lime dressing and evenly drizzle it over the mango slices. Grill the mango until they turn golden and crispy, flipping them so each side gets grilled.
- Place the grilled mango slices into a large bowl and add the sliced red onion, cucumber, tomatoes and the dressing to the bowl. Zest half of a lime into the bowl. Peel the ginger piece and grate about 1 teaspoon into the bowl. Gently toss everything together to combine. Garnish with fresh mint upon serving if desired.
Notes
*Note: Alternatively you can grill the mango on an outdoor grill if you have one, but gently toss the mango slices in the chili lime dressing before placing on the grill.
