Chef's notes
Use ripe mangos. Green mango, or unripe mango, is commonly used in Thai mango salad and other dishes in Indian, Southeast Asian, and Thai cuisine. While this recipe certainly draws inspiration from Thai mango salad, it’s not intended to be an authentic version.
Adjust the heat to taste. Not a fan of spicy food? Simply omit the jalapeño! Or, if you’d like to moderate—but not totally eliminate—the heat, you could use half a pepper instead of a whole one.
Get ahead. You can totally make this mango salad recipe ahead of time for a potluck or picnic. Just wait to add the herbs and peanuts until you’re ready to serve.
