Mangoes are one of my most favourite fruits. Summer and mangoes go together and luckily this wonderful fruit is available in South Africa from December to April. Mangoes are very versatile and can be used in savoury dishes as well as sweet.
I made this delicious mango ice-cream recently and not so recently this mango mousse.
The mangoes in this dish compliment the chilli chicken beautifully. My family loved this salad!
I served the salad with a coconut salad dressing on the side. The recipe for the dressing can be found here. I did not add the garlic powder and replaced the chives with basil.
