Sweet and Tangy Green Thai Mango Salad
Thai Mango Salad is both sweet and spicy! It starts with green unripened mangoes and is typically served as an appetizer. It's refreshing from the sweet and tart green mangoes, with just a hint of sweetness from brown sugar, and a kick from Thai chilies. This authentic mango salad recipe is one that you are going to love!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar see notes
- 1 garlic clove grated
- 1-4 Thai chilies what you can handle
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 carrot shredded
- 2 unripe green mangoes julienned
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- SLICE: Take your time slicing the red onions and carrots. I usually use a mandolin for the onions, and a ‘y’ peeler (linked below) for the carrots and mango. This makes the shreds all the same size so that you can get a little bit of all the ingredients in each bite.
- SAUCE: In a medium bowl, combine fish sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, garlic, and chopped Thai chilies. Mix until the sugar dissolves.
- ADD THE SALAD INGREDIENTS: Add the sliced red onions, shredded mangoes, julienned carrots, and cilantro.
- TOSS: toss the salad to combine. Taste and adjust with more fish sauce, lime juice, or brown sugar as desired.
Notes
- Sugar: You can also use palm sugar, honey, or maple syrup here.
