I’m still an old fashioned ‘pinner’. In my spare time (chuckle) I tear pictures and recipes out of magazines and ‘paste’ them in a pretty little notebook.  Recently I tore a page out of Real Simple that gave a bunch of yummy ideas of what to do with a mango. This amazing little salad was one of them.

There was no recipe per se but it just said to mix the following ingredients (I’m listing the amount of each that I used):

2 mangos

1 avocado

1 large cucumber

1/3 red onion

1 jalepeno

juice of 1 lime

Salt and Pepper to taste

See that pretty little jalapeno?

That’s from our garden.  Eventually I’ll be able to supply the cucumber and onion for this dish but I’m afraid I’ll have to move somewhere tropical to grow the rest (tempting).

My avocado was very ripe so it almost acted like a dressing after I stirred everything together.

This was so yummy!  Awesome summer dish.  If it were up to me this alone would have been dinner but that doesn’t fly in my household so I paired it with a light pasta dish.

Delish.
