Mango Curry Dressing Recipe

Posted on 9th of May, 2012 by Lévana

This salad dressing is delightful not only over greens, but also with  fish or chicken, grilled or poached. The pungent curry is a wonderful foil for the fruity and tart mango. Use only as much dressing as will lightly coat your greens, and include with your greens some diced fresh fruit such as apple, pear or grapefruit, diced dried fruit and toasted nuts or seeds: Short and sweet selection, please!

 Ingredients:

1 ripe mango, peeled and cut in chunks (if all you find is frozen mango chunks, that will be perfect too: Use 1 cup)

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons mustard oil (settle for Dijon-style mustard)

1∕3 cup orange juice

1∕3 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon curry, or a little more  to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

Place the mango chunks in the food processor. With the motor running, add the oils in a slow stream, then the juices and spices. Makes about 2 cups. Use on your favorite greens, and include a firm-ripe fruit and some seeds or nuts.

Here’s one salad selection I like to use with this dressing: Baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, avocados, diced pears, sliced fennel, toasted pecans, and when I have it on hand, diced cooked chicken or fish.
