Living in California, we're always surrounded by mangoes. We love eating them plain and sucking on the pits, or we like to sprinkle them with a little chili pepper Latin American-style. Packed with vitamins and fiber, mangoes are a nutritional powerhouse and absolutely delicious.
Recipe Recommendation: Marinated Mango
We came across this recipe on Chowhound for Marinated Mango (click through for recipe) and all the ingredients were in season, so we happily purchased everything at the Alemany Farmer's Market and set about making this. It was very quick and easy to make, and required a minimal amount of recipes. The fresh, tender mango pairs well with the crunchy jicama and the spiciness of cayenne and fresh mint mingled in makes excellent flavors.
The salad kept well and was a staple in our lunch box all last week. However, the recipe makes a lot, and after a few days, we got a little sick of the leftovers (we're a household of two) so next time, we'll halve the recipe.

A little cumin is good in mango salsa. Personally, I would leave out the chopped tomatoes in the linked recipe.

I agree on the tomatoes. Substitute black beans. I also go heavier on the lime juice (and leave out the vinegar).

Coming from Southeast Asia, I love my mangoes. I have a Vegetarian Thai Mango Salsa (no fish sauce) recipe to share :)

I made the Marinated Mangoes last night and am currently enjoying it at my desk at work. It's a great way to get some fruits and veggies in but the month kind of throws the flavor off for me. I would recemmend taking no more than 8-10 (or less) mint leaves, finely chop them and you should be golden. The amount of mint the recipe calls for is too much for me.If you wanna get really crazy you can add some finely chopped fresh basil for a twist. Just a little though, don't go nuts. The basil should pair fairly well with the salt and lime juice.
Overall, a good recipe.
