The pleasant tang of the green mango combines with juicy Tiger prawns in this oh-so-colourful salad from Jo Feehan at Second Helping.

  • 2 green mangoes, peeled and julienned
  • 6 cooked medium tiger prawns, peeled and de-veined
  • 5 perilla leaves, roughly torn
  • 5 mint leaves, roughly torn
  • 5 Vietnamese mint leaves, roughly torn
  • 5 Thai basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 1 long red chili, sliced
  • 1 tbsp fried Asian shallots
  • 1 tsp fried garlic chips
  • DRESSING

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 bird’s eye chilli, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  1. To make the dressing, combine the fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and 125 ml (½ cup) of water in a saucepan and place over medium heat.
