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.

Let’s discuss the ingredients
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.

My peanut salad is a contribution to this event. Though many of us have thought (including me) of peanut as a nut, it is indeed a legume. (fact source – Wikipedia)

This looks so simple and tasty, but I don’t know how I’d measure the time it takes for two whistles. 5 minutes each, or any other time suggestions you can make?
The two whistles I mean in Indian pressure cooker. You can cook peanuts for 10 to 15 minutes. Hope you try this. Thank you
