I made some version of this from a magazine years ago and have since lost the recipe. I'm sure I could find something on the interwebs, but mostly I just improvise often throughout the summer. We had it last night with grilled salmon and it was fantastic. I've also made it with the mango chicken sausage from Trader Joe's. It is best if made a couple of hours ahead of serving.
Summer Mango Cucumber Salsa
- Mix together diced mango, cucumber, red onion, and red pepper. (Usually I use one mango, 1 small cucumber, 1/4 of med red onion, and about 1/4 red pepper. But there is no hard science...use whatever you have on hand at a proportion that looks tasty to you. I've also added diced jicama and a seeded jalapeno to this with pleasing results, but those aren't as commonly in my kitchen.)
- Mix together approximately 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1-1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and a teaspoon of olive oil (optional). Again, feel free to adjust these proportions to your liking.
- Pour marinade over diced ingredients, add some chopped cilantro and toss.
