Mango Pomegranate Salad with Creamy Curry Dressing
Created by: Joanna Smith
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
SALAD:
4-5 cups of mixed salad greens
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 mango
½ cup sliced almonds
DRESSING:
¼ cup coconut milk (I used full-fat)
¼ cup tahini
⅛ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1.5-2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon madras curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
a pinch of sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a dry skillet over medium/low heat, toast your sliced almonds for a few minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Turn off heat and set aside.
Peel your mango (I used a potato peeler) and chop into bite-sized pieces. Place chopped mango in a large bowl, and add the carrots, pomegranate seeds, greens, and almonds. Give it a toss.
In a small bowl, whisk together your dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste to adjust salt, curry, or sweetness, depending on your preference.
Serve salad and dressing separately (which is what I did) or if serving immediately, drizzle some of the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Notes
~Some coconut milk is thicker than others, so if your dressing is too thick, you can add a couple teaspoons of water to thin it down.
~If you are using a curry powder other than madras, you may need to sweeten the dressing more and adjust the amount of turmeric, depending on your taste.
~The dressing made more than I needed, so I used the leftover dressing on my lunch salads!
