Mango & green bean salad with honey & passion fruit dressing image

Enjoy this vibrant, summery salad. A sweet honey, warming chilli and tangy passion fruit dressing marries well with fragrant mangoes and crisp green beans

Provided by Roopa Gulati

Categories     Side dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g fine green beans, trimmed
3 passion fruits
1-2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
10g ginger, peeled and finely grated
½ -1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped, depending on how much heat you prefer
squeeze of lime juice, to taste
1kg mangoes
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tbsp mint leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
  • Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
  • Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
  • Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
  • Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with bruises or soft spots.
  • Segment the grapefruit carefully: To avoid bitterness, use a sharp knife to cut around the grapefruit segments, following the natural membranes. Remove the segments from the grapefruit and discard the pith.
  • Make the honey mint dressing in advance: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the grapefruit to become more refreshing.
  • Garnish with fresh mint: A sprinkling of fresh mint adds a pop of color and a refreshing flavor to the salad.
