Spicy Mango Salad Dressing Recipe
Today’s salad dressing was one of those recipes that came about by playing around in the kitchen. I wanted a spicy and juicy salad dressing for a pasta salad and stumbled upon a delicious concoction that just needed to be shared with the world!
This easy mango salad dressing is made with just 5-6 ingredients and is perfect whether you’re serving it on a pasta salad (as I did) or enjoying on a leafy green salad… or it can be enjoyed as a dip for veggies or a sauce for proteins like steak, chicken or fish.
I always have fresh or frozen mangoes on hand because it’s one of my daughter’s favorite fruits, but in a pinch you can use peaches (and maybe even pineapple) to make this simple salad dressing.
