Green Mango Salad
- 2 hard mangos - they are not actually green, just unripe
- 1 cup sweet onion - thinly sliced - I used Texas 1015 but vidalia, walla-walla, or those Hawaiian ones will work too
- 2 serrano peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- juice from one lime
- Slice then measure your onion. Chop then measure your cilantro. Halve the serrano peppers, remove seeds and pith, and slice thinly. I do not use gloves but it's not a bad idea. Chop the mint - I did a chiffonade (roll the leaves into a little burrito then thinly slice - pretty mint ribbons)
- Peel the mangos - seriously the kind of peeler with the little serrated teeth will make this much easier. Cut off the cheeks, cut them in 3 the long way then thinly slice. You can also get "mini cheeks" from the sides and slice those.
- Toss all of the ingredients together, then cover and put the salad in the fridge for an hour (I am eating some next day and it is still crispy delicious - you want all of the flavors to have some time to marry)
- That's all - eat up! Very good with grilled lamb chops, just FYI
