This salad is so superb that even though green mangoes are usually a fairly esoteric item
Outside of Southeast Asia, they're well worth tracking down just to make this recipe. The
sourness of the mango is offset by a touch of sugar, a heady aroma provided by kaffir lime
leave and other herbs, with a splash of fish sauce for salty fragrance and chilies to give a bit
of bite. The cashew nuts add crunchy sweetness to the salad, which is great with just about
anything, especially grilled or fried food. This recipe is a specialty of southern Thailand and
northern Malaysia, where cashew nut trees are cultivated.
