Mango, lettuce and cucumber salad

November 21, 2007 By: Gay Category: Asian, Blog events, Salads

When it’s mango season in the Philippines, around March to June, we usually eat ripe mangoes all the time from morning to night. So I’ve come up ways to eating mango in different ways. We usually make mango refrigerator cake (I’ll talk about this in another post) or make them into shakes. There are two types of shakes, ripe mango shake and green mango shake. The green mango shakes uses unripe green mangoes for that sweet-sour shake and all the goodness of sweet mango you can find in the ripe mango shake. A Japanese eatery here made kani salad with mangoes, lettuce, cucumber and crabsticks. This gave me an idea to make a simple salad with cucumber, mango and lettuce and topped with Japanese mayo.

For this dish, you will need one medium size cucumber sliced thinly, a cup of shredded lettuce and slivers of mango from two ripe mangoes. Just layer them and add Japanese mayo according to your taste. Another dressing would be to mix half a cup of cane vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar and freshly milled black pepper and pour onto the salad mixture.

   Hi M, yup I’ve voted already. Good luck!

   Mangoes are really good in salads, very refreshing. There’s a Thai resto here in Los Baños that serves Thai mango salad, sarap!

   I like mangoes, but they are expensive and usually not that good here. I bet this tastes great with the good mangoes you have there.
