Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
• 1 small garlic clove
• 1 small chili (like red Thai, serrano, or jalapeño), seeds removed for mild, left in for hot
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1–2 tbsp water, to thin as needed

Instructions

1. Add mango, garlic, chili, lime juice, oil, honey, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until your desired pourable consistency is reached.
3. Taste the sauce and adjust: more lime juice for tang, honey for sweetness, or chili for heat. The flavor should pop!
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Use as a drizzle, dip, or dressing.

Notes

Make it creamier: Blend in 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt or coconut cream for a richer texture.

Add herbs: A handful of cilantro or mint adds freshness and depth.

Use frozen mango: Thaw first and drain any excess liquid.

Want it smoky? Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a roasted chili.
