Mango - living on the edge
Got an mango sitting around on your kitchen counter? Not sure what to do? Try this: pit, peel, sliver, place in a bowl and gently toss with olive oil. Plate and top with slivered jalapeno pepper, slivered sweet onions. Dress with a generous amount of ground black pepper, squeeze lime juice over all and sprinkle with salt.
This is a great side dish served with offerings from the grill: asparagus and Norwegian salmon. Think about that presentation: bright crisp green of the asparagus, the off pink “salmon” color of the salmon, and the yellow-orange of the mango. Not to mention the combination of flavors. ohmygosh good, and an easy and healthy dinner.

I am trying this tomorrow – went to market today to get the ingredients because I didn’t have a mango sitting around.
You didn’t even have one “rolling” around???
Hope you liked the recipe. It’s just a good healthy and colorful side dish for any meal.

I made it tonight as a side for thick grilled pork chops with baked potatoes (finished on the grill) and a green salad fresh from the garden. It was a perfect meal. What I loved was the taste of pepper on the mango – really surprised me how nicely they compliment each other. This gets two big thumbs up from Dana & I.
Vickie: Sounds wonderful. The pepper is good on the mango. I noticed that too. I just found a recipe for new potatoes roasted in duck fat. Can’t wait to try that one. Sounds wonderful. Just need to round up some duck fat!
