Combine the lime zest with the juice, jalapeno, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, tamari, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together then pour over the salad (see Cook's Note). Add some of the peanuts, saving the rest for garnish.

• More info:
• This recipe calls for green mango, which is an under-ripe mango, rather than a specific variety. When shopping for green mangoes, choose fruit that is firm to the touch.
• What to drink:
• With this menu, try a bottle of Riesling. We particularly like the Smith-Madrone 2007 Riesling from Napa Valley ($25). The mango, pineapple, and citrus flavors of the wine are the perfect complement to this meal. While you're at the market, look for a Thai beer like Singha, which is produced by Thailand's first and largest brewery.
