Salads : Mango-Orange Salad with Mixed Greens
- 2 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 3 to 4 tablespoons TABASCO® brand Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 3 oranges
- 1 large ripe mango
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Put unpeeled garlic in a small, heavy skillet over medium heat; roast, turning often, until soft and darkened in spots. Cool and peel garlic and place in a blender with TABASCO® Green Sauce, lime juice, oil, sugar and salt. Blend until smooth. Combine dressing and onion in a large bowl and let stand about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut stem and blossom end off oranges, then stand the oranges on a cutting board and, working close to the flesh, cut away rind and all the white pith. Cut in between each segment to make skinless sections.
Peel mango with a sharp paring knife, then cut flesh from pit: Stand mango on one end and slice flesh from one side of pit. Turn mango around and slice flesh from other side. Cut large pieces into long 1/2-inch-wide fingers or wedges.
Just before serving, stir orange and mango pieces into onion mixture. Add salad greens and toss gently. Arrange on individual serving plates and sprinkle with cilantro.
