Okay, there are so many amazing ways you can use mango, from desserts to savoury… but this Chilli Mango salad with Coconut Crunch is a winner. During prep though, I rarely get past cutting it up, because I end up eating more than I should! Though mango is irresistible in it’s natural form, I’m glad I left enough to make this vibrant and colourful salad. Imagine it… sweet mango with the bite of red onion, a hit of heat from chilli and refreshing tang from a lime dressing. To take it one step further, a warm, buttery, crunchy, coconut crumb is sprinkled on top. Believe me, your tastebuds are going to go crazy for this!
