Thai Mango Salad

Submitted by Nat Da Brat

"This is a nice side salad that I first had as a side at a Thai restaurant, but we like to have it with just about anything. It's a nice combo of sweet and spice."

I used the dressing on a combination of mangoes, shallots and carrots. It was very good!

This salad has become an all-time favourite of family and friends! With the exception of cutting back to half of a red, Thai chilli pepper (my family are woozies!), I didn't change a thing. It is tasty, fresh and delicious!
