Savory Mango Salad
1 small onion; finely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 large mangoes
1 teaspoons salt
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 medium serrano or Anaheim chili, seeded and finely chopped
fresh cilantro leaves
In a small bowl, toss the onion with the lime juice. Let stand for 40 minutes.
Working with 1 mango at a time, score the skin into quarters. Peel half the mango and cut 1/4-inch lengthwise slices down to the pit. Cut crosswise to release the slices. Repeat with the other side. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of water with the salt. Add the mangoes and let stand for 40 minutes.
Drain the mangoes and pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl and add the orange juice. Drain the onion and sprinkle over the mangoes with the chopped pepper. Garnish with the coriander. Serves 4.
