Mango Coconut Cucumber Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Toss shallot, garlic, chile, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add mangoes and cucumber and toss again. Cover; let sit at room temperature until shallot and cucumber are softened and juicy and flavors come together, 45-60 minutes.
• To serve, add cilantro to chow and toss well; season generously with pepper.
• Do Ahead
• Chow (without cilantro) can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber in wide stripes lengthwise, alternating skinned strips with peel. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces and place into salad bowl.
• Add mangos, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and agave nectar to bowl and toss to blend.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, chile, lemon and lime juice, brown sugar, coconut, mango, and bell pepper.
• Toss well.
• Cover and chill for 20 minutes and serve cold.
• Just before serving, top with cilantro or spearmint.

Steps:

• Coconut Rice:
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover tightly, reduce heat to very low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Fluff rice when cooked.
• Marinated Garlic Shrimp:
• Clean and rinse shrimp in cold water. Place in a glass bowl. Add salt, pepper, vinegar, orange juice, and pressed garlic. Cover and let marinate for 20 minutes.
• Drain marinade from shrimp, add chopped garlic, and arrange shrimp on skewers. Grill until cooked, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Mango Cucumber Salad with Guava Dressing:
• In a glass bowl whisk jelly, vinegar, and lemon juice. Fold in cucumber, tomato, and garlic. Add mango, pepper, and scallions to mixture. Toss gently and keep chilled until served.

Steps:

• Run a sharp knife down the back of each prawn and remove the grey line that runs from the head to the tail. Whisk the coconut milk until smooth, then tip half into a bowl with the prawns. Add half the lime juice and a pinch of salt, mix well and set aside for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining coconut milk with the rest of the lime juice, the sesame oil, sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt.
• Divide the watercress or spinach between two plates, then top with the mango, avocado and red onion slices, the mint and sliced chillies.
• Pour a 1-2cm depth of oil into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Combine the desiccated coconut with the cornflour and some seasoning. Drain the prawns and turn in the cornflour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess.
• Drop one prawn into the oil; if it sizzles, add a few more, but don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. When all the prawns are fried, scatter them over the salad and drizzle with the dressing.
