Mango-avocado salad


This might actually be a salsa, but I'm going to call it a salad, since that is how we ate it. I think that without the red pepper, I'd probably call it a salsa. Go figure. Mangoes and avocados just go well together, especially with a hint of spice and some lime juice and salt.

1 mango
1 avocado
1/2 red pepper
1 jalapeno
1/2C cilantro
1/2 red onion
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste

Dice the garlic and onion and jalapeno, chop everything else to the same size. Mix it together in a bowl. This is best if you let it sit for an hour or so before serving, but its still delicious if you serve it immediately. We ate some of it with chips, and some of it just with a fork.


The stuff next to it are baked sweet potato "fries" and swiss chard and fava beans. A really colorful meal...
