Peanut Mango Noodle Lunch
Mango brings a sweet, soft contrast to cucumber and noodles in a peanut-lime dressing. It makes a lunch where the fruit stays in pieces rather than becoming part of a cooked sauce. Drain the noodles thoroughly and coat them before adding the mango. Fold gently at that point so ripe strips do not disappear into the dressing.
