A Vietnamese Moment

I was craving a light vinaigrette to go along with a salad so I found this recipe per Ina Garten. It was pretty good, but I added red wine vinaigrette for more flavoring.  Combine 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup good olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a small glass measuring cup and whisk until combined. Lemon to taste  Add some red wine vinaigrette to taste (a few squirts)  Pepper to taste  Salt is accurate 

This is a delightfully refreshing salad I learned from my cousin. This recipe is incredibly simple and the sauce can be made before hand and stored for many months! So easy to make with minimal ingredients.  Ingredients:  - green mango (1-2 mangos) - salt - sugar - fish sauce - shrimp - thai chilis  - lemon  FISH SAUCE DRESSING:  1. Mix together a 1:1 ratio of sugar and fish sauce (may add more sugar to your tasting) 2. Heat on medium heat until just before boil (watch the pot carefully so the sugar doesn't burn!) SALAD:  1. With a special slicer knife, cut small strips of green mango.  SHRIMP:  1. Lightly salt shrimp and submerge in boiling water until cooked.  2. Slice shrimp in half.  Combine mango and shrimp in a bowl. Add 2-3 spoons of the fish sauce dressing, some thai chilis, and squeeze some lemon into the mix. You can also had some minced garlic for an extra kick. Mix thoroughly!...
