Ingredients:

  • 1 large mango, cubed

  • 1 bunch basil leaves, roughly torn

  • 1 small bunch mint leaves, chopped

  • 1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 150g cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • sea salt and cracked pepper, to taste

  • 75g unsalted peanuts, toasted

  • thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 1-2 teaspoons palm sugar (alternatively muscovado sugar)

  • 2-3 limes, juice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (or more if you prefer it hotter)

Method:

  1. In a large bowl add zucchini, mango, ginger, garlic, peanuts and tomatoes.

  2. Mix together the lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, chili flakes and palm sugar in a separate bowl, then pour over the salad. Toss well to combine. Allow to marinate for 8-10 minutes until flavors have incorporated with each other.

  3. Transfer on a platter and top with herbs and sesame seeds.
