Mango Salad w/ Spicy Thai Dressing

I've been trying hard for the last few days to eat entirely raw while also cutting back on fats. I obviously have been eating a lot of salads, but without the dressing. Until I made this super yummy mango salad made out of 100% fruits and veggies, even the dressing.

I couldn't even tell I was eating a gigantic bowl of fruits and veggies!

This would be perfect for bringing to a potluck picnic or family barbeque. You can keep it dressed in the fridge for several hours because there's no lettuce that will go soggy.


1 almost ripe mango, julienned
1/2 red pepper, julienned
1 small bunch of kale, chopped and massaged until wilted
1 zucchini, grated
2 carrots, grated
small handful of cilantro, chopped

Dressing:
1 almost ripe mango
1/2 red pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp thai yellow curry paste
2 tsp lime juice

Blitz dressing in your blender and dump over salad. Mix up and eat!

Sweet and Spicy

Mix it all together and you've got a summer salad!





























I love the sweet mango with the spiciness of the curry paste. If you don't have curry paste put some cayenne pepper and a garlic clove. That should do the trick.

This salad made it easy to make a change and STICK TO IT!

  3. Not sure why you gals are avoiding fats, but it is really important to eat healthy fats with leafy greens and salads in order to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins. There is a method to the madness of putting an oily dressing on salad!
