Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1 medium green mango
- 2 medium chopped tomatoes about ½ cup
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon calamansi juice or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sweet sautéed shrimp paste Ginisang Bagoong
GARNISH:
- freshly chopped parsley or cilantro if preferred
Instructions
Prepare the salad:
- Thoroughly wash mangoes, remove any residue and mango sap, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- Slice through the ripe mango peel and pulp while avoiding cutting through the seed. Cut the pulp into bite-sized cubes and scoop out the flesh from the peel.
- Peel the green mango with a peeler, slice and dice the flesh.
- Combine the deseeded calamansi juice and sautéed shrimp paste.
Assemble the salad:
- In a medium bowl, place mangoes, tomatoes, red onions, and the sautéed shrimp paste mixture. Toss to completely combine the mixture with the remaining ingredients.
- Sprinkle with parsley (or cilantro, if using) and serve with your favorite grilled seafood, chicken, or meat.
Notes
Carabao Philippine Mangoes are ideally used when making Ensaladang Mangga. The combination of ripe and green mangoes will provide an excellent taste and complementing texture.
Calamansi is also known as Philippine Lime or Calamondin. Regular lime juice can be used instead if you do not have access to them.
Sautéed Shrimp Paste is known as Ginisang Bagoong. It is made from salted and fermented small shrimp (alamang), sometimes fish. There are a few variations with regular, sweet, and spicy Sautéed Shrimp Paste. The sweet variety blends well with the calamansi and mangoes.
Sautéed Shrimp Paste (Ginisang Bagoong) is available at some Filipino and Asian Markets including online, via Amazon and Walmart. It is commonly paired and used with Filipino Kare-Kare, Pinakbet, Bagoong Fried Rice, and when snacking on green mangoes.
Discard the seeds of the ripe and yellow mangoes or plant them in your backyard if you wish.
In the Philippines, Ensaladang Mangga is deliciously served with grilled seafood including Daing na Bangus (fried marinated boneless milkfish), grilled shrimp and Inihaw na Pusit (grilled squid), and served during Boodle Fights (Kamayan Dining Feast).
