Yam Mamuang - Thai Green Mango Salad

My local greengrocer keeps selling these mangoes that are green and never get ripe before they go off. Do they know that this is perfect for my yummy Thai Dish or is it just a bad import?
I do not care either way, because I found exactly what I need.


This super refreshing Salad has a proper kick from the chillies and is a perfect example of how the 4 s's (Sweet, Sour, Savoury, Spicy) blend together in harmony.

I found this special peeler in a supermarket in Asia. It has many functions for ornamental carving ect, but I think most people would use it for making either this Green Mango or the Green Papaya salad.
If you can find one, get it, if not just use a grater or a mandolin, or do it the old fashioned way.... slashing loads of little cuts with a knife all over the flesh then slicing the little ribbons off, carefully.


So here are the Ingredients:
(serves 1-2 @ 3 Weightwatchers points)

1 green Mango, peeled and flesh grated using an ornamental peeler 
1/4 red Onion, sliced thinly
10 cashew nuts, chopped roughly
2 chillies (mine were orange and quite hot, but use you're favourite)
a few fresh Coriander Leafes, chopped roughly
1/2 Lime (juice)
1 tsp Palm Sugar
1 tbs Fish Sauce


Simply mix everything together thoroughly and serve right away. Enjoy!
