Selecting The Perfect Mango – 3 Steps
The mango is the centerpiece of this fruity salad dressing recipe, so selecting a gorgeously juicy and sweet one is best.
Press: When selecting, gently press on the mango; a ripe mango will give slightly under your touch. A medium ripe will be firmer; go for the juiciest!
Smell: Give the stem a sniff. The mango should smell sweet and aromatic.
Color: the mango should have turned green to primarily yellow/orange.
Choosing Organic Ingredients Or Not
This can be a controversial topic. However, if you eat it raw and unpeeled, ensure it’s organic. I’ll be adding a complete guide to organic vs. conventional foods soon. Sign up for the newsletter to be the first to read it! For this dressing choosing organic cilantro and even cumin would be a great idea. Mango, orange, and citrus can all be peeled, so buying organic is less essential.
Remember to wash your product regardless of choosing organic or conventional. Use a veggie wash or a small amount of dish soap. You want to wash off any pesticides still on the skin or leaves!
Storing The Fruity Salad Dressing
Once made, the dressing will last in a sealed container for one week in the fridge. A great dressing to meal-prep and enjoy on a variety of dishes. Brighten your taco Tuesday with a drizzle over buffalo cauliflower and avocados (drooling and the thought!)
Can You Freeze The Fruity Salad Dressing?
While this is not something I’ve tried before, it might be possible as all the ingredients should fare well in the freezer. If you try this, please let us know in the comments how it turned out!
