This refreshing salad is based on the Thai Som Tum Mamuang (Thai Green Mango Salad) and the very much-loved Kerabu Mangga recipe that Makmah makes. I love mangoes, but the quality of mangoes I can find here in Greece at times disappoint me. They ripen into hard, sour fruits and I find that they are perfect for savoury salads like this kerabu or made into purée/sauce (to be eaten with ice cream, yum!)
I also love coriander (cilantro). They go really well with this salad, with the kaffir lime leaves and juice, peanuts, fish sauce and kerisik makes this into a very fragrant and appetizing salad. Different brands of fish sauce have different levels of saltiness, so vary accordingly. Be safe, use 1 tbsp first, taste and add more fish sauce/soy sauce if you think it needs more.
