It is so refreshing to have salad, any kind of salad during long hot summer months and this Thai mango salad, is simply delicious!
The mangoes used for this salad is often the young mangoes with crisp, white flesh but sour in taste.
Perfect for that fabulous, delicious Thai taste of sour, sweet, salty and spicy.
However, I will illustrate on how to make mango salad with step by step photos.

For any Thai recipe, birds eye chilli is the chilli of choice.

Chilli are to be slice with de-seeding.
