MANGO CUCUMBER SALAD Recipe | | Salads and Raita Recipe by Kevin Tighe |
| | INGREDIENTS | Cucumbers - 2 (peeled and sliced thick)
Mangoes - 2 (peeled and sliced thick)
Cayenne pepper - grounded (or other hot chili powder)
Lemon juice - 1 to 3 lemons
Salt to taste | | METHOD | 1. In a large bowl, mix the cucumber and mango slices together.
2. Sprinkle a little cayenne or other chili powder over the mixture.
3. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt on it. (You may want more, but start low and check for taste).
4. Mix to evenly coat the chili & salt.
5. Squeeze the limes over the bowl. Depending on the size and juiciness of the limes, you will probably need 1 - 3 of them.
6. Mix and serve.
Note:
The proper taste of this is when you can taste the chili, lime, and salt independently and none are overpowering the others.
In Mexico they do sell powdered (Chili-Lime-Salt) like a masala. This can be used, too, but fresh is always best. This salad is Wonderful in the summertime. |
