I know some of you may not be a big fan of coriander, so for you, I’m giving you change up the coriander for basil or mint because that works just as well. I’ve tried both ways. Because of all the fresh mangoes in the dressing, you don’t need an artificial sweetener. In case the mangoes you get are not as sweet, add a splash of honey or maple syrup which will make things perfect!
