We had a big lunch yesterday so I thought to have salad for dinner with some tasty mango dressing. I am trying to take full advantage of mango season by adding them in breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you too, are a passionate mango lover then today’s salad dressing is for you.
Updated with new pictures and the video (Originally posted May 2013).
The combination of fruit in the dressing always give a wonderful delicious flavor. This dressing combines season’s sweet mango with red wine vinegar for an intense flavor that can transform any bowl of salad, into a gourmet meal. The salad I made was nothing fancier, there was chopped romaine lettuce, sliced red pepper, zucchini, carrot, radish and onion rings. In addition to that I added sliced tandoori chicken and drizzled mango dressing on top.
Season's best delicious mango dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 heaped cup chopped mango
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp water ( to make the dressing thin)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp crushed red chili ( or flakes)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place mango, red wine vinegar, water, and salt in a blender jar.
- Blend until pureed. ( stopping once to scrape down the sides if needed).
- Add olive oil and process until smooth.
- Transfer to a bottle or jar, add crushed red chili, whisk or shake.
- Enjoy!

This is really interesting.. I have never thought of mango in a dressing!! should try it over the weekend!!
Balvinder
Mangoes taste really good in dressing, plus the dressing gets creamy without any addition of eggs or mayo.

I agree that its about balance, the food we eat and than having a salad to rest our system. I just love anything with mangoes and this salad will be welcomed greatly.
Balvinder
Yes, we have to listen to our body to keep the balance in diet. If you love anything with mangoes then you will love this dressing,too.

PS: on a side note: Do your girls eat you out of house and home or is it just teenage boys?
Balvinder
You mean eating out with friends? Oh yes, she does that, whenever she go for movies or in the shopping mall.

It will be awhile before our mango season comes round again but when it does I will definitely make this – it sounds divine. personally I’d like to try it on a chicken, avocado and lettuce salad.
Balvinder
sounds good to me.

I’m sure the mango dressing gives any plain salad a 5-star make-over. I’m sure it’s a refreshing treat!
Balvinder
Oh Shirley, this dressing is so good that I even love to put on stir fry vegetables.
Heather @Gluten-Free Cat
My homemade dressings are those that blend in whole fruits and veggies. Mango sounds wonderful!
Balvinder
I have made dressings with berries other than mango but never tried any vegetable. Good to know, though.

Can I use just normal red or white vinegar Masi?
Balvinder
I don’t see any reason why you can not substitute? But remember, each type of vinegar has its own distinctive flavor. I don’t know how red vinegar taste like so can not speak about it. White vinegar is very harsh, it won’t be a good substitute.The one I think the best is rice vinegar, its taste is sweet and delicate.

What a delicious and beautiful salad dressing! I think it would be magnificent on so many summer salads.
Pattie
What a brilliant idea! I just bought a mango and was trying to decide what to do with it other than just eating it because I love mango. I’m going to make this salad dressing. I can’t imagine it not being absolutely fantastic.
