Friends, we know mangoes are SO good it’s challenging not to devour them all right off the cutting board. But take it from a fellow mango enthusiast: This time it’s worth letting them make it to the blender. You’re going to want a batch of this bright, naturally sweet turmeric mango vinaigrette around for a salad recipe coming tomorrow!

Grab your blender and 9 ingredients (mostly pantry staples) and let’s do this!

Mango, lime, salt, avocado oil, white wine vinegar, turmeric, chili powder, garlic, and maple syrup

This dressing is as simple as blending and enjoying! Mango is the sweet creamy base, a mix of white wine vinegar and lime juice give it bright + tropical notes, and avocado oil adds a flavor-neutral richness.

Blender with mango, garlic, salt, chili powder, and lime juice

The remaining ingredients include maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness, sea salt for overall flavor, turmeric for its vibrant yellow color and anti-inflammatory benefits, and chili powder for a subtly smoky kick!

We hope you LOVE this mango vinaigrette salad dressing! It’s:

Creamy
Bright
Naturally sweet
Versatile
Quick & easy
& SO delicious!

It’s amazing on salads (recipe coming soon!) but also works well anywhere you’d want a sweet, bright addition, including bowls, tacos, and fish (drizzling on grilled mahi-mahi would also be delicious).

US Customary – Metric
  • 3/4 cup fresh, ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey (depending on sweetness of mango)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (or less depending on spice preference and type of chili)
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil* (or other neutral-flavored oil)
*The riper and more flavorful the mango, the better!
*We tested with olive oil and wouldn’t recommend it. The flavor is too bitter and overpowers the mango.
*Recipe as written makes ~1 cup (240 ml) dressing. This quantity of dressing blends well in a narrow base Vitamix or smaller blender, but if you have a wide base model or larger blender, you may need to double the batch size to get it above the blades so it can blend.
*Loosely adapted from The Café Sucre Farine’s Sweet and Spicy Mango Salad Dressing.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amount of maple syrup and without optional ingredients.
