Tomato and mango salad in aguachile
Delight in the perfect blend of juicy tomatoes and sweet mango, served in a zesty aguachile sauce. A refreshing and flavorful salad to tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- oz. tomatillos (10–12), husks removed, rinsed
- serrano chiles, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
- Vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- large or 2 small mangoes, peeled, cut into bite-size pieces
- white onion, thinly sliced
- lb. tomatoes (about 2 large), cut into bite-size pieces
- 14-oz. can hearts of palm, drained, cut into 1" pieces
- Fresh cilantro sprigs (for serving)
Instructions:
- Heat up the grill to medium-high temperature. Place tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet with edges. Drizzle a bit of oil over them, add some salt, and mix well. Grill while turning occasionally until they get slightly browned all around, around 8 to 10 minutes for tomatillos and about 4 minutes for chiles. Transfer back to the baking sheet and let them cool down.
- Blend tomatillos and 2 halves of chiles in a blender until you get a smooth mixture. Add lime juice, taste it, and season with salt as needed. Keep the rest of the chiles for later use.
- You can prepare the Aguachile 2 days beforehand. Cover it and keep it in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature and add a splash of water to loosen it up before serving.
- Place mangoes, onions, tomatoes, and hearts of palm on a serving platter. Pour the aguachile on top and garnish with cilantro and the remaining chiles.
