Recipe: Cold Mango Salad with Salmon

It’s the season of mangoes and everyone around me (including me!) is going gaga over this magical fruit. But I have a confession to make. Mangoes can be boring (there, I said it!). But hear me out. Mangoes are juicy and fleshy but it offers only a one dimensional flavor. It’s a safe and predictable flavor but then, we all know how mangoes taste, right? Mango as a fruit is great, yes. But mango with an edge is simply amazing. That’s why when HyperCITY asked me to create a unique recipe with mangoes; I was thrilled because finally I had the opportunity to create something interesting and fun.

And since the Indian summer is ensuring that we are losing our bodyweight by sweating, the best idea is to create a cool and refreshing salad. But not just any salad my friend, but one with a cool twist and I am pretty sure you will love it.

You will need:

• 350 gm of fresh salmon
• 1 whole ripe mango
• 1 table spoon of Coleslaw (you can make this at home or buy ready-made)
• 100 gm rocket leaves
• 100 gms iceberg lettuce
• I ripe tomato
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Preparation

• Clean the rocket leaves and iceberg lettuce thoroughly and keep it in a salad bowl.
• Blanch and peel the tomato and cut into thin slices. Keep this in the salad bowl and mix well.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper and toss well. Set aside.
• Chop the mango flesh into small pieces and plate it.
• Chop the salmon into thin slices and place it next to the mango pieces.
• Take the salad leaves and place in on the plate.
• Add coleslaw and serve!

How simple was that, right? Let me know if you enjoyed the recipe.
