    Peel the mango and carrot and cut into thin matchsticks. Thinly slice the green onion and put everything in a bowl.

    💡Green mango is tart and crunchy like a vegetable: choose completely firm fruit, and cut thinly so it absorbs the dressing.
  2. 3
    Pour in the dressing and toss well.
  3. 4
    Add the chili pepper and cilantro and toss.
  4. 5
    Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes so the vegetables absorb the dressing.
    Refrigerator
    💡Resting in the dressing improves the salad: the vegetables absorb the flavor, and hard vegetables (cabbage, carrot) also soften a little.
  5. 6
    Serve topped with the almonds.
