What's not to like about mango chutney? It is a sweet and spicy Indian side that has the consistency of jam, and it usually accompanies grilled meat. It resembles thai sweet chili sauce that comes with lumpia (fried eggrolls or springrolls for those of us from the mainland).
Mango Chutney Sauce ... use on salads, etc.
- 1 part chutney*
- 1 part balsamic vinegar
- 1 part flax oil**
**flax is full of omega-3's, good fats important for many cellular functions. You may substitute any oil, like olive or safflower oil. Preferably not corn, soy, or canola, which have less flavor and is not as healthy... so why not kill 2 birds with one stone? and use a good oil so you don't have to take supplements.
A word on salads...
My salads are not made up of mostly iceberg or romaine lettuce. They are filled with fruit, green veggies, beans/tofu/nuts with the lettuce portion making up a small part the whole. For lettuce, I opt for spinach, spring mix, etc. and avoid iceberg altogether as it has a very low nutritional value. When you think salad, think beyond your tradional views which will bring you creative twists that are not only delicious but good for you.
