Mango Salad

This summer I discovered this recipe on the internet. One evening we were meeting up for a ladies potluck and I wanted to make a salad and carry it along with some quesadillas. Since then I have made it about ten times and my friends Aarti, Shirin, Kavery and Sarbani have also tried it. Every time it is received with lip-smacking applause!

Well that was dramatic. Okay here goes, use one large mango, green capsicum, one onion, one large tomato and a bunch of coriander leaves. The mango should be tight and fleshy. In Bombay, I use the Badami. Deseed the tomato and cut the crunch part into cubes. The mango and the capsicum also should be cut into cubes. Slice the onions. Finely chop the coriander. Keep the chopped salad aside till before serving.

For the dressing, use 2 table spoons Balsamic vinegar, 1(not full, in fact less than level) tea spoon sugar, a dash of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix the components till the sugar dissolves. Now add 2 table spoons of olive oil.

Just 5 minutes before serving, dress the salad. Enjoy! Pity, that you can try this only during summer. A recommendation is that a couple of peaches could replace the mango.
