Gluten-Free Green Mango Coco Salad
This salad is so refreshing and cooling! Inspired by the Thai Papaya Salad, I gave it my healthy twist by balancing flavor and nutrition. Green mangos are a low glycemic fruit high in vitamin C, A, and B6. The fiber and enzymes are great for digestion. The herbs in this salad add a boost of antioxidant power, while the coconut provides healthy fats that are burned quickly for energy. This dressing is a perfectly balanced creamy blend of spicy and sweet!
