Mangos are plentiful right now and although not local it is hard to resist the sweet flavour. Because they are in season they are an economical addition to your dinner repertoire. Try this salad with a side of chicken marinated briefly in a bit of lime juice and hoisin or oyster sauce and BBQ'd. I say chicken is the side as it will not be what you remember about this dinner.
Salad
2 mangos chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1/4 c. parsley
zest and juice of one lime
zest and juice of 1/2 orange
2 T. chives
2 stalks celery
1-1/2c. dry brown basmati cooked
Combine. Great to eat right away but flavours get better as it sits so it's a great make ahead. Double up and pack for lunch tomorrow - and throw some of that chicken right in there.
