Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the mango. Peel and dice one medium mango, making sure to remove the pit.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the blender. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate the spices.

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
