This vinaigrette balances sweet pureed mango with sharp lime juice and a touch of jalapeño for a dressing that works well on green salads, grilled chicken, or fish tacos. Whisking the oil in slowly creates a lightly emulsified texture that clings to greens without weighing them down.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
Method
-
Combine the diced mango, lime juice, rice vinegar, jalapeño, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
-
Blend on high speed until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is lightly emulsified.
-
Add the cilantro leaves and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate without fully pureeing.
-
Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, or honey as needed, then transfer to a jar or airtight container.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld; shake or whisk well before each use.
