PREPARATION

  • Mix The Base Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the mango purée and lime juice, stirring until evenly blended.
  • Add The Olive Oil: Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and slightly creamy texture.
  • Incorporate The Chilli Flakes: Stir in the chilli flakes, adjusting the amount to your spice preference. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
  • Season With Salt: Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, mixing well to balance the sweetness and acidity. Taste and adjust as necessary.
  • Adjust Consistency If Needed: If the dressing is too thick, add a few drops of water or extra lime juice and whisk until the desired texture is reached.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the dressing to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to let the flavours meld together.
  • Serve And Enjoy: Drizzle over salads, grilled meats, seafood and tacos or use it as a dipping sauce for appetisers.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this mango lime dressing.

  • Use Ripe Mangoes: Fresh, ripe mangoes provide the best natural sweetness and smooth texture for the dressing.
  • Whisk Thoroughly: Mixing well ensures an even consistency and helps emulsify the ingredients properly.
  • Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a milder dressing, reduce the chilli flakes or substitute with paprika for a smoky flavour.
  • Balance Sweetness And Acidity: If the dressing is too tart, add a tiny drop of honey or maple syrup to mellow it out.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A pinch of garlic powder or finely minced shallots can add depth to the dressing.
  • Let It Sit Before Serving: Allowing the dressing to rest for a few minutes helps the flavours blend harmoniously.

VARIATIONS

  • Creamy Mango Lime Dressing: Blend in 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt or coconut milk for a thicker, silkier consistency.
  • Citrus-Infused Dressing: Mix in ½ tsp orange juice for a sweeter, more tropical flavour profile.
  • Herb-Infused Dressing: Stir in finely chopped fresh cilantro or basil for a herbal twist that complements Latin and Asian dishes.
  • Garlic-Spiced Dressing: Add ¼ tsp minced garlic for a more savoury kick and let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse.
  • Vegan Alternative: If the dressing needs extra sweetness, use maple syrup instead of honey for a plant-based option.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir well before using, as separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the mango purée may alter texture upon thawing.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and whisk well before serving.
