Mango lime vinaigrette will take your simple summer salad to a whole new level! Made with just 7 ingredients, this simple homemade dressing recipe is gluten free, paleo, vegan, grain free and Whole30 compliant and so much better than anything you can buy in stores! All you need is a blender or food processor, no cooking required!
Salads are my go to in the summer. There are days when turning on the oven or stove is just not going to happen. So I pile on the veggies, find an avocado and call it a day. But sometimes ordinary balsamic vinaigrette or balsamic tahini dressing can get old. It’s so important to change up my dressing to keep from getting sick of salads throughout the summer! That’s why I love this mango lime dressing!
How do you make vegan mango lime vinaigrette
Start by defrosting frozen mango or cutting the flesh from a fresh mango.
Add the mango and the rest of the ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. I love using my Ninja Bullet blender for dressings! It’s so easy to clean and I can easily make small or large batches.
Start with just 3-4 tablespoons of water and increase the water by 1 tablespoon until you reach the consistency you enjoy!
