Wegmans Thai Green Bean And Mango Salad Recipes

THAI GREEN MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix together all the salad dressing ingredients in a bowl or cup. The dressing should be a mingling of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty, but more sweet than sour. Set aside.
• Place the coconut in a dry frying pan or wok. "Dry-fry" the coconut, as if you were stir-frying it, 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, or until it turns a light golden-brown and is fragrant. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Using a sharp paring knife , peel the skin from the mangoes. The flesh of the mangoes should be firm and light yellow-orange.
• Using a medium to large grater (the kind you would use for cabbage salad), grate the flesh of the mangoes into a mixing bowl. Keep in mind there is a large flat stone at the mango's center.
• Add the bean sprouts, cilantro, and spring onions, and the cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, if using, and the fresh-cut chile, if using. Add half the toasted coconut and toss well to combine.
• Add the dressing and toss again. Taste, and add more fish sauce or soy sauce instead of salt if needed. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more sugar (honey works, too). If you prefer more spice, add more chile sauce . If too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
• Place on a serving platter. Sprinkle the nuts, basil, and remaining toasted coconut over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add beans and cook until bite tender, about five minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, tossing the colander until all the beans have been shocked and cooking has stopped. Drain well and set aside.
• Peel the mango and slice the fruit flesh off of the pit, as much along the vertical as possible. Discard pit and slice fruit into long narrow strips, echoing the shape of the green beans.
• Cut the top off of the bell pepper. Remove and discard the stem, core, and seeds. Slice the pepper in half along the vertical and use a paring knife to cut away the white pith. Slice the pepper, including the top, into long narrow strips.
• Peel the onion and cut in half along the vertical, reserving half for another use. Slice along the vertical into narrow thin strips.
• Rinse the cilantro leaves well. Pat dry and chop.
• In a medium bowl, combine mango, pepper, onion, and cilantro. Set aside.
• To make the dressing, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, garlic, herb blend, and chili sauce in a small bowl. Fish sauce has a strong flavor. If you haven't worked with it before, start with a teaspoon or two, adding more to taste. Original recipe calls for Sriracha hot chili sauce.
• Add dressing to mango mixture; toss gently. Add beans and toss. Serve at room temperature.
