This mango salmon salad is the ultimate summer salad recipe! Grilled salmon is paired with a delicious mango cabbage slaw and is tossed in the yummiest tahini lime dressing. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 x salmon fillets (500g/ 1 lbs), cut into 3cm cubes
  • Salt + pepper
  • 2 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 4 cups Savoy cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup mint leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into 3cm chunks and season well with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over a medium heat. Spray with oil, add the salmon and cook for 3 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Shred the cabbage on a mandolin slicer or in a food processor using the slicing attachment. Dice the cucumbers, remove the mint and coriander (cilantro) leaves from the stem and roughly chop.
  3. Mango: Cut the mango, into small cubes.
  4. Salad: in a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cucumbers, herbs, mango and sesame seeds.
  5. Tahini lime dressing: In a bowl or jar, combine the tahini, coconut aminos, vinegar, lime juice + zest. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad. Gently toss until everything is covered in the dressing. Divide into bowls and top with the salmon chunks. Serve and enjoy!
