Swaps and substitutions
For a lower-sugar version, swap mango for diced cucumber or extra snap peas to keep the fresh, crisp balance. If you do not like beets, use roasted carrots or radishes; if you avoid alliums, leave out scallions and shallot and add more cilantro and lime.
What to serve with it
Serve it as a bright main with grilled tofu, roasted tempeh, or a simple bean dish for extra protein. It also works well beside chilled cucumber salad, crusty gluten-free bread, or a light soup for a fuller summer meal.
