Basil Mango Sauce Recipe

A simple basil mango sauce recipe ready in 5 minutes. Sweet, savory and tangy, a true Goddess sauce perfect for fish, scallops, chicken, meat or simply tossed with your favorite pasta. I’m particularly fond of buckwheat spaghetti sprinkled with oven roasted cherry tomatoes.

Pairs really well with salmon and steak, drizzled over shrimp tacos or served with chips for dipping. Often times I’ll toss it with some quick cook brown rice or a bowl of cold quinoa for a perfect summery side dish.

If you leave out the garlic you could even use it as a dessert sauce, for ice cream or cheesecake. Just make sure to taste as you, and adjust 11 times until your taste buds are doing the happy dance!

What to serve with:

• Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings
• Garlic Scallops
• Steak
• Fish Tacos
• Crab Cakes
• Coconut Shrimp
• Meatballs
