This dish in Thai is called Yam Mamuang

Green mangoes aren’t always available so this easy-to-make salad can be made with tart green apple instead

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 green mangoes
  
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
  
• 3 to 4 tbsp dried shrimps, ground finely
  
• 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, ground finely
  
• 4 tbsp fish sauce
