    1. * Note: Make pickling liquid in a medium saucepan by combining the white vinegar, sugar, crushed garlic, crushed Thai chiles, and crushed lemongrass. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and let cold.
    2. Slice down either side of the pit of the mango, leaving you with two halves. Using a mandoline, run the mango lengthwise down the blade leaving you with thin slices. Add in mango to pickling liquid, and pickle for about 30 min.
    3. Make dressing in a medium-size bowl, combining chile sauce, 1 Tbsp. reserved grapefruit juice, and 1 Tbsp. pickling liquid. Whisk in 2 to 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper. If too warm, add in more pickling liquid.
    4. In a large bowl, mix endive, watercress, shallot, lemongrass, garlic, chile, mint, cilantro, basil. Toss in half of the grapefruit pcs. Add in dressing to salad, and toss. Drain the pickled mango; set aside.
    5. Divide salad equally among four plates. Divide the pickled mango equally, and place on top and around greens. Garnish each plate with remaining grapefruit pcs, 1 Tbsp. shredded coconut, Thai pickled lemon, and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.
    6. Serves 4.
