Who doesn't love a mango salad??

I saw a recipe in a recent Cook's Illustrated for Mango and Avocado Salad.  Of course, when I got to the grocery store, all the avocados had just been stocked and were hard as rocks.  However, beside them were some lovely baby heirloom tomatoes.

This has a lovely balance of sweet and spicy.  If there weren't other people's children eating it, I would have kept the jalapeño seeds in and maybe thrown in some habenaro pepper as well!

Recipe:  Mango and Tomato Salad

4 Champagne Mangos
10 small or 5 large Heirloom Tomatoes
1 Jalapeño Pepper (or 2...), seeded and finely diced
1 handful of Cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 Lime
1/4 Red Onion, finely chopped
Salt and Pepper

Next time I think I may try it with some grapefruit and rice vinegar to make it a little tangy.  This requires no dressing and has no oil, and without the avocado, no fat.
