Kerabu Mangga – Malaysian Salad

Kerabu Mangga – Malaysian Salad

Kerabu Mangga, also known as Malaysian Salad, is a very healthy side dish.  It directly translates to Mango Salad. Usually, the mangos used for this salad include the unripe and young ones. In fact, most prefer the unripe, mainly due to the firm texture and the less sweet taste. However, be sure not to buy too unripe mangos. Indeed, the sour flavors in the very unripe may prove too sour to handle.

Malaysians eat this not on its own as with the usual Greek Salad. Instead, Malaysians eat Kerabu Mangga to complete their meal. Malaysian Salads show some variety. In fact, many salads consist of a vegetable side dish. The Malaysian Salad, Kerabu Mangga differs from the rest, with the inclusion of the mango itself, and the crushed dried shrimps and the fish sauce used. These two ingredients really rich in flavor.  However, to make the vegan recipe, we just need to remove these two. In fact, the mango provides a rich, flavorful salad without them.
