Vietnamese salads are usually made with the same dressing. The dressing is a combination of lime juice, garlic, fish sauce, bird eye chilis and sugar.

Mango, carrot, red onion and shirmps are the base of this salad. But what makes this salad actually shine is the spicy, sweet, sour of the garlic dressing.

When selecting mangos, look for those that are firm yet ripe. It’ll provide better texture when tossing the salad.

Use a vegetable peeler to create thin, long strips of mangos and carrots. If you don’t have a peeler, cut mango and carrots into thin strips.
