Paneer & Mango Salad

Showcasing the King of Fruits for the brief but glorious mango season

This salad marries sweetness and bitterness to excellent effect. It works best with a firm, slightly green mango, and bitter leaves, such as chicory, bull’s blood and Treviso. Be generous when seasoning the paneer, since it can otherwise be bland. For a satisfying lunch, serve the salad with naan - we recommend the Crispy Sesame & Onion Seed Naan found in our Cookery Book.

You can swap the paneer for juicy, garlicky grilled prawns if you like.
