SPICY MANGO SALAD

Mangoes were always sold on vendor carts in Uganda -split and sprinkled with lots of  hot chilli powder and lemon salt.   Memories of  walking home after school during my childhood always include spicy mangoes. The mangoes were either raw, sour and crunchy or ripe, soft and sweet.  When mangoes are in season here, I normally take advantage of using them in refreshing salads, salsas and drinks.

My recipes are rather on the spicy side as my memories of mangoes always include “hot and spicy”.  One of my favourite salads in the summer is a good mango salad. I have tried various ingredients like jicama, cucumbers, peppers but I always loved the combination of green apples, red onions, jalapeños and ripe mangoes.

The ingredients sliced thin and evenly will make the salad more appealing and enjoyable. Jalapeños can be sliced long or chopped fine depending on your spice taste buds! For me, the spicier the better.
