Vegetarian Recipe #5: Mango Salsa with Cucumber

This recipe idea came from the Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home Cookbook, which I modified slightly.

Ingredients:

2 mangos (the best are slightly soft to the touch and smell sweet)

1 crisp cucumber (un-peeled)

1 small tomato

1/2 red bell pepper

juice from 1 lime

2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

sprinkle of cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste

Chop all fruits and vegetables. Remove seeds of cucumber, tomato, and red pepper and discard. Combine. Add lime juice and cilantro. Stir and sprinkle in cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste.

Serve chilled. Makes a great accompaniment to chips or on top of Black Bean Burgers (see Vegetarian Recipe #4)
