Salade Mangues Recipe (Mango Salade)

I am so sad that Mango season is almost over here in South Australia.
This is one dish that you absolutely have to try if you love Mangoes!!!

In Mauritius we make this Mango Salad and leave it to stand in the sun for about 1/2 hour, and just writing this down is making my mouth water and bringing my childhood memories back!!
Gosh how I miss home and the food from home!!

For this 'Salade Mangues' (Mango Salad) you will need:
- 2 to 4 big mangoes (half ripe are the best!)
- Green or red chillies (as much or as little as you like)
- White vinegar
- Sugar to taste

To prepare your 'Salade Mangue', you need a large salad bowl.
Wash and peel the mangoes and cut the mango flesh into thin bite size pieces and put into the salad bowl.
Chop the chillies and add to the bowl. Add the white vinegar. The vinegar is what will make the sauce or dressing if your like, so start by adding a little at first and taste and see as you go.
Add Sugar to taste. Then leave the mango salad to stand for about 30 mins under the sun preferably.

Enjoy the yummiest mouth watering mango salad ever!
