Mango chilli peanut butter dressing is a sweet, spicy and creamy condiment that comes together in 5 minutes with no cooking required. It is gluten free and vegan condiment perfect to drizzle over salads and also works as a sauce or dip. It is a vegan and nut free recipe.
This recipe started as an innovative way to use up a mango on the counter that was going soft and now it has become one of those recipes I come back to for it’s versatility – as a dressing or dipping sauce.
A quick note on the name – I call it dressing as that’s how I use it most of the times but it works just as well as a sauce or dip. Keep it thick for dipping vegetable spring rolls or vegetable sticks, or thin it out with a splash of water to drizzle over salads, wraps and noodles. Same recipe just adjust the consistency to serve what you’re serving it with.
The best part of this recipe is that it doesn’t involve any cooking so no fuss. All ingredients goes into a blender, processed and gets ready in 5 minutes. Natural sweetness from mango does heavy lifting without needing any additional sweetener.
I used FLEX Natural Smooth Peanut Butter made with just roasted peanuts, no palm oil, no added sweeteners, no fillers. If you’re after a peanut butter you can feel good about using everyday, click here.
