- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 heaped tsp ground black pepper

Method
Whisk together the lime juice, chillies, salt, honey, black pepper and olive oil. Set aside.
Cut off the top and bottom of the mangoes. Peel, then cut the mango away from the flat sides of the pit, keeping the knife close to the pit.
Cut the mango into thin strips, about 5cm/2in long; take care, as mangoes can be slippery.
Combine the mango, spring onions, red pepper and coriander in a large bowl, add the lime dressing and gently mix until combined.
To serve, sprinkle over the roasted peanuts.
