Directions:
  1. I like to start out with the dressing so it can chill in the fridge while I prepare the salad - simply place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth
  2. For the salad: grate the carrots, chop the avocado, spring onions, mango, mint and cilantro, mix in the edamame beans and sesame seeds and the salad is ready!
  3. Serve the salad with the spicy mango dressing and enjoy!
