Thai Crab-and-Green-Mango Salad
From Food & Wine
To create completely satisfying dishes, Thai cooks aim for a mix of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors. In this salad, chef Laurent Tourondel of the HKUE ENG BLT Steak empire achieves that alluring combination by tossing tart green mango with cucumbers, a myriad of fresh herbs, a vibrant Thai dressing, and plenty of delicate, sweet crabmeat.
