💡 Tips for Making Mango Dressing

• Taste test: Taste your mango puree to ensure it’s sweet enough. If it’s on the tart side, you may want to add a bit more honey.

• Use a high-speed blender: A high-speed blender creates the smoothest consistency, especially when working with ingredients that have a lot of fiber like mango.

• Chill: Let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes after blending to allow the flavors to meld together.

• Add salt: Add a pinch more salt if the flavors taste flat because it enhances both the sweet and tangy flavors.

• Thin it out as needed: If the dressing feels too thick for your liking, add a teaspoon of water or extra lime juice to adjust the consistency.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store this dressing in an airtight jar or container for up to 5 days. Shake well before using, because it may separate as it sits.

Freezer: While it's best served freshly made you can freeze it in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight and re-blend it before serving.

🍴 What to Serve with Mango Vinaigrette

• Salad dressing: Drizzle over mixed greens with avocado, red onion, grilled chicken, and toasted coconut for a vibrant, summery salad.

• Grain bowls: Use it to dress quinoa or rice bowls topped with roasted veggies, mango chunks, and shrimp or tofu.

• Veggie dip: Serve as a dipping sauce for raw veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrot sticks.

• Seafood marinade: Use it as a marinade for shrimp, salmon, or scallops before grilling or baking.

• Taco topping: Spoon over fish or chicken tacos for a tangy, tropical twist.

• Slaw dressing: Mix into shredded cabbage and carrots for a fresh and zesty mango coleslaw.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Creamy mango dressing: Add two tablespoons of Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy version perfect for coleslaw.

• Citrus swap: Use lemon juice instead of lime juice for a slightly different tangy profile.

• Tropical Twist: Add a splash of coconut milk for a subtle tropical flavor that pairs well with seafood.

• Vegan-friendly: Replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan version.

• Extra zing: Add a small piece of fresh ginger to the blender for a warm, spicy twist.

• Mustard: Blend in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a touch of savory falvor.

Can I Make This Dressing Without a Blender?

Yes! Use a whisk, but mash the mango puree well with a fork first to help give you a smoother texture.

What Should I Do if My Dressing Separates?

Give it a good shake or stir before serving. Adding a tiny bit of Dijon mustard can help it stay emulsified.

Can I Use Olive Oil Instead of Avocado Oil?

Absolutely! Olive oil will work, but it may add a stronger flavor to the dressing.

Can I Use Frozen Mango Chunks?

Yes, just thaw them first and puree them before blending with the other ingredients.
