Peanut Mango Salad
I have recently started including salads in my diet. Previously I have shared my Corn Cucumber salad, raw papaya salad, and sprouts salad, which I love the most. I tried this Peanut Salad with my favorite mango and I loved it instantly. The dressing of this salad is simple, nothing fancy. I hope you will also love this.
How to make a Peanut Salad with Mango?
In this salad, I use boiled peanuts. So you soak raw peanuts in water for 15 minutes and pressure cook with salt till 2 whistles. Then strain it. Add chopped mangoes and onions. Add spice powders. Adjust spices as per your requirements. Squeeze lemon and add chopped mint leaves to add flavor. Serve.

Peanuts – Peanuts are legumes though it has characteristics of nuts. They are a good source of dietary protein which helps in growth and development.
Mango – I added mango as I love it. You can adjust the quantity of it.

Oh my, this is my kind of salad! Looks incredibly delicious and very healthy too! I totally love the Mango and Peanut combination, it compliment to each other.
Thank you so much.
What a great idea. I have never made peanut salad before but I think the mango would go so well with it, especially with a little kick from the chili powder.
Thank you
Such a unique salad recipe but I love anything mango and especially mango with a bit of spice. When I saw this recipe had chili powder, I was hooked. Never boiled peanuts before but I would do it again!
