Ingredients
For the Salad
For the Dressing
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp Coriander chopped
- 2 Chilies finely minced, green
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Salt black
- 1/4 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1/4 cup Pomegranate Seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed mango, chopped red onion, diced cucumber, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped cilantro, minced green chilies, salt, black salt, and chaat masala.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Ensure the mango and other ingredients are evenly coated.
- For optimal flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and a nutty flavor, add a handful of roasted peanuts or toasted cashews just before serving.
- If you prefer a more intense tang, try adding a sprinkle of chaat masala or a dash of black salt for a classic Indian street-food twist.
- To make the salad ahead of time, combine all ingredients except the salt and lemon juice. Mix these in just before serving to prevent the veggies and mango from releasing excess water.
- For a vibrant presentation, use a mix of ripe and slightly underripe mangoes for a pleasing contrast of sweetness and tartness.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the amount of chili to your preference. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach your desired level of heat.
- If using fresh herbs like cilantro or mint, add them just before serving to maintain their vibrant flavor and prevent wilting.
- For a creamier texture, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of tahini to the salad.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture and flavor may change slightly over time.
