Mango season means mangoes are innocently weaving its way into all our meals. This is a great way to add a fresh salad to any meal with a simple delicious dressing that complements the sweetness of mangoes beautifully. The crunch of peanuts and sesame seeds is just brilliant juxta positioning.
For this salad I am partial to Badami Mango for it’s sturdiness and tartness. But alphonso works just as well. As do all other mangoes – it is the king of fruits for a reason!
