This is a recipe I developed this summer after being inspired by reading a recipe in the newspaper for an Asian salad from a food truck. This Asian flavoured dressing is great for a cold noodle salad, coleslaw or broccoli slaw. The sesame oil(antioxidants) and sunflower oil (vitamin E) are tasty, more unusual fats that add more nutritional variety to your diet.
1/2 mango, cubed
1 shallot, finely minced
1/2 cup or more chopped cilantro, stems included
1 red thai chili, minced
1 tsbp sesame oil
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
Fresh lime juice from 1 1/2 limes
1/2 tbsp agave syrup
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Adjust lime juice or agave syrup to your taste. Enjoy the dressing with packaged coleslaw, broccoli slaw, and adding cold noodles is an option to make a more substantial salad.
