Jump to RecipeIf you like the combination of sweet and tangy, you’re going to LOVE this recipe!
Effective flavour pairing is a key element in creating memorable and enjoyable food experiences that are not just good, but great. In this case, the natural affinity between the mango and the lime is a key element to the success of this recipe.
This light salad is a particularly refreshing snack during the summertime. It is extremely easy to make and a great healthy alternative if you want to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Did you know? Mangoes are rather low in calories for the nutritional punch that they provide: 3/4 cup of sliced mangos is just 70 calories. As for the raw cherry tomatoes, they provide an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect us against ageing and play a key role in the prevention of many ailments, including heart disease and cancer.
As a side dish, this salad pairs wonderfully with fish and stuffed pastries. You can also turn it into a salsa for chips or fish tacos, in which case I would recommend cutting the ingredients into smaller pieces and adding some avocado slices to it with an extra squeeze of lime and a drizzle of your favourite hot sauce.
