This bold and vibrant marinade balances the gentle heat of our Chipotle Infused Olive Oil with the sweet, tropical brightness of Mango White Balsamic Vinegar. It’s a lively pairing that’s fantastic on chicken, shrimp, pork, firm fish, or grilled vegetables. A little sweet, a little spicy, your BBQ lineup just got an upgrade.

Directions

Make the marinade: Whisk all ingredients in a bowl or shake together in a jar until smooth and well blended.
Prep your protein or veg: Wash, cut to your desired sizes, and place into a shallow dish or glass container. Cover with a lid or aluminium foil.
Add marinade: Pour marinade over your food and toss or turn pieces to coat everything evenly. All surfaces should be coated.
Cover and refrigerate for: Chicken or pork: 2–4 hours. Vegetables or halloumi: 30–60 minutes. Seafood (shrimp, salmon, or firm fish): 15–30 minutes. Tip: Do not over-marinate seafood to prevent texture changes.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove items from marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill until lightly charred and cooked through.
Optional: Reserve a bit of marinade (before marinating) to drizzle on after grilling for an extra sweet-heat flavour boost.

Recipe Note

This pairing shines with tropical sides like grilled pineapple, coconut rice, or mango salsa.
Brush extra marinade on while grilling for bigger flavour.
Seafood cooks quickly. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
Try locally blended salts from Kootenay Salt Blendz or Saltwest to layer in even more flavour.
