Mango Vinaigrette Starring Saucy Lips Foods’ Tangy Mango Sauce
During late spring, mangoes become a huge part of my diet. Mangoes are everywhere and they are literally giving them away at my local supermarket! I typically make a mango vinaigrette using fresh ripe mangoes and citrus juices.
However, yesterday I made a simple salad and wanted to add a quick vinaigrette but none of my mangoes were ripe enough. So I grabbed my Saucy Lips Foods Tangy Mango Sauce and made this vinaigrette in 5 minutes!

- Avocado Oil: Oil adds a smooth, velvety texture to the vinaigrette, giving it body and thickness. It’s also essential for creating an emulsion in the vinaigrette.
- Herbs: I use a mixture of fresh herbs and dry herbs, using parsley and chives.
- Cloves of garlic: Fresh garlic adds a sharp, pungent, savory flavor.
- Pitted medjool dates: Finely chopped dates add a natural sweetness that enhances the sweet mango flavor.
- Freshly cracked black pepper and salt: Add to taste.

How to Make Mango Vinaigrette

It doesn’t get any easier than this! This mango vinaigrette was so easy to put together and the flavors were bright and fresh. The tanginess of the sauce, combined with the oil and fresh herbs added a burst of flavor to this simple salad and was just what I needed on an unusually hot spring day.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container or mason for up to 3 days. Shake vigorously before using.
Recipe Variations
- Spicy mango vinaigrette recipe: Want a kick of heat? Add finely chopped jalapenos.
- Lime mango vinaigrette: Add a splash of fresh lime juice to enhance the bright taste.
- Dates: I added dates to the vinaigrette to make it a bit sweet. Don’t have dates? Try raisins or prunes. Just make sure that the raisins and/or prunes are Whole30 Compliant if you are on a round. You may also skip the dates if you do not want that hint of sweetness.
Mango Vinaigrette Uses
This dressing would pair really well with grilled shrimp or fish and of course any salad combinations. Try it on my Cabbage and Mango Slaw or with one of my jerk recipes like this Caribbean Jerk Chicken and Berries Summer Salad.
