Asian inspired spring salad with spicy mango dressing

Salad, yields 4 servings as a side dish:

4 carrots

1 avocado

1 cup edamame beans

4 scallions/spring onion

1/2 mango

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

A handful mint and cilantro leaves

Inspired by the very talented girls from Plat du jour :)

Spicy mango dressing/dip:

1 mango

2 cm. ginger

2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
Chili powder to taste 

The juice from 1/2 lime

Directions:

1. I like to start out with the dressing so it can chill in the fridge while I prepare the salad - simply place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth
2. For the salad: grate the carrots, chop the avocado, spring onions, mango, mint and cilantro, mix in the edamame beans and sesame seeds and the salad is ready!
3. Serve the salad with the spicy mango dressing and enjoy!

Fruit infused water

I love making infused water; it tastes amazing, looks pretty, it helps me drink more water which is something I am unfortunately not very good at and it is of course all healthy as it is only water, fruit and herbs.  For these I used lemon slices, lime slices, orange slices, strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate and mint leaves, but the opportunities are pretty much endless and you don’t need to add a lot of different things – a simple combo like cucumber and lemon tastes amazing!
