Notes

MANGO: One extra large mango, two small mangos or about 1 ½ cups of cubed mango.

MEAL PREP AND STORAGE

  • SERVE: Pour over your favorite salad, grain bowl or roasted veggies. Slather on your veggie burger, wrap or favorite vegan sammie. Use as a dip for veggies, fries or mini samosas, or drizzle onto your favorite flatbread pizza.
  • PREP AHEAD: Definitely. This easy dressing can be stored on the counter for a few hours, or store in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to use. It takes just 5 minutes to make, so this is the perfect meal prep salad dressing for your week.
  • STORE: Use clean glass jars with tight fitting lids to maximize shelf life. Store in the fridge for a week or freezer for up to 3 months.
  • FREEZE: I like to use freezer safe zip top bags for freezing dressing because they can be frozen flat to take up less space. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
