Mango & Cucumber Noodle Salad

By Camille Styles

Ingredients

for the salad:

  • 1 medium seedless cucumber, spiralized (or julienned with a sharp knife)
  • 1 very firm mango, peeled, cored and spiralized (or peeled, cored and julienned with a knife)
  • 1 red jalapeno, seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced basil
  • 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • vegetable oil
  • chopped cilantro for garnish

for the vinaigrette

  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon agave
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, mango, jalapeño and basil.
  2. In a medium saucepan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by 1/4". Heat to medium-high, then fry the shallots, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate (shallots will crisp up as they cool.)
  3. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, then toss with salad. Top with shallots and garnish with cilantro.
