About Malaysian Mango Salad
Malaysian Mango Salad is a super-easy salad where ripe mango is the star ingredient.
This vegan and gluten-free mango salad recipe comes together in under 10 minutes using simple ingredients. All you have to do is prepare the mango and toss the cubes with a few other ingredients.
Malaysian-style Mango Salad is a spicy, sweet, and tangy combination all at once. Make it in summer when fresh, ripe mangoes are in season.
Ingredients
Mangoes – Choose mangoes that are ripe, firm, and juicy. Thai mangoes, champagne mangoes, Florida mangoes, or Indian mangoes, such as kesar or Alphonso, work 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 Asian Red Chili Paste instead.
In addition to these main ingredients, you will also need mint leaves, fresh cilantro (also known as 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-sized cubes.
Peel a small red onion and slice it thinly.
Chop fresh mint and cilantro.
Make The Salad
Step 1: Add the following ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
- 3 cups peeled and cubed ripe mangoes

Storage Suggestions
This salad tastes best when made fresh. You can prepare the mangoes and onions in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, chop the mint and cilantro and toss them with the other ingredients.
