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.
