Cabbage And Mango Salad With Lime Dressing

• Salad:
• 1 head Nappa cabbage
• 1 large mango, peeled
• 1/8 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh
• cilantro
• fried shallots(garnish)
• Dressing:
• the juice of two limes (appr. 1/4 cup)
• 1/8 cup fish sauce (the proportions should be 2 to 1 lime juice to fish sauce)
• 1/2tsp sugar (or to taste)
• 1/2tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)

1. Place cabbage on its side and cut crosswise into 1/2" shreds.
2. Place the shreds into a large salad bowl.
3. Julienne the mango, and add to the bowl.
4. Toss in the chopped peanuts, and the chopped cilantro.
5. In a measuring cup, squeeze the juice from two limes. It should equal approximately 1/4 cup of juice. Add approximately 1/8 cup of fish sauce (you can cut back on fish sauce, or add a little more depending on how much juice your limes yield. The proper ratio is 2 to 1). To this mixture, add 1/2 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss well. Garnish with fried shallots and serve.
7. *Fried shallots are available in some asian groceries. If you can't find them, cut 1 shallot into rings and fry it in a bit of hot oil until crispy.
