Ingredients

Mangoes – Choose mangoes that are ripe, firm, and juicy. Thai mangoes, champagne mangoes, Florida mangoes, or Indian mangoes like kesar or Alphonso works great in this recipe.

Onion – I like to add red onions to this salad for their pungent taste. They pair very well with sweet mangoes.

Sambal Paste – This adds a very nice Malaysian touch to the salad. If it’s not available, use red chili paste instead.

Other than these main ingredients, you will also need some chopped mint, cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), salt, and sugar.

How To Make Malaysian Mango Salad

Preparation

Start by preparing the mangoes. You will need 3 cups of cubed mangoes. Wash 2-3 large mangoes and wipe them with a kitchen towel.

Peel the mangoes using a sharp paring knife. Cut the flesh off from the pit and discard the pit. Cut the flesh into bite-size cubes.

Peel a small red onion and thinly slice it.

Chop fresh mint and cilantro.

This salad tastes best when made fresh. You can prepare the mangoes and onions in advance and refrigerate them.
