A vibrant, gut-loving dish inspired by warm Caribbean days and joyful summer plates.

Here’s my take on a mango, New Tropic kimchi, and butter bean salad — perfect for feel-good days when you want something fresh, colourful, and full of flavour. It’s vibrant, nourishing, and packed with gut-loving goodness.

🧡 I’m using two Fermary stars in this recipe:
New Tropic Kimchi (for that tangy, tropical crunch)
Fermary Jalapeño Sauce (for a probiotic kick with heat and texture

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe mango, cut into juicy, chunky pieces

  • A handful of sweet cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 jar of good-quality butter beans (drained)

  • A few red chicory leaves, torn into big bold pieces

  • 6–8 king prawns (or shrimps)

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • Gochugaru chilli flakes (or cayenne)

  • Knob of butter (for the prawns)

  • A few forkfuls of Fermary New Tropic Kimchi

  • Fresh coriander (or micro coriander)

  • A few fresh mint leaves

  • Juice of ½ lemon or lime

  • Sea salt

For the dressing:

  • 2–3 spoonfuls of Fermary Jalapeño Sauce

  • Glug of very good olive oil

  • A drizzle of runny honey

  • A pinch of salt

To make:
Start by gently cooking your prawns in hot butter with chopped garlic and a pinch of chilli - just a few minutes until they’re pink and golden, then set aside to cool.

While those cool down, chop your mango and cherry tomatoes, and prep your herbs and leaves.

In a large mixing bowl, combine:
→ Butter beans
→ Mango chunks
→ Cherry tomatoes
→ Cooled prawns
→ A squeeze of lemon
→ Chicory leaves
→ A few forkfuls of New Tropic Kimchi, finely chopped

Now for the secret dressing your gut and tastebuds will love:
Mix Jalapeño Sauce, olive oil, honey, and a pinch of salt — stir well and pour over your salad.

Finish with a good handful of chopped coriander and fresh mint leaves. Mix everything gently so you don’t lose the colour and shape.

✨ And there you have it - one joyful plate: fresh, fiery, juicy, and seriously gut-supportive.
Top with extra herbs and a final squeeze of citrus if you like, and enjoy with flatbread or on its own.
