    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make green mango salad ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make it ahead of time by preparing the ingredients in advance and storing them separately. Combine the ingredients and dress the salad just before serving for the freshest taste and texture.

    Can I use ripe mangoes instead of green mangoes in the salad?

    While green mangoes are traditionally used in green mango salad for their tangy and crisp flavor, you can use ripe mangoes as a substitute if desired. Ripe mangoes will provide a sweeter and softer taste to the salad, altering its overall flavor profile.

    What to serve with Ensaladang Mangga

    • Crispy Fried Whole Fish: Whole fish seasoned and fried to a golden crisp.
    • Inihaw na Liempio: Grilled pork belly marinated in soy sauce, calamansi, and ketchup.
    • Filipino Barbecue: Grilled skewered pieces of pork marinated in a savory-sweet sauce.
    • Lechon Kawali: Deep-fried or air-fried pork belly with crackling skin and tender meat that has been previously boiled.
    • Inihaw na Isda: Marinated or seasoned fish, typically grilled over charcoal.
