Ok here's a crazy idea, ane basic salad that tin plow over the sack last either sweetness or savory. I was trying to intend of what to create alongside about mangoes coming my means from the National Mango Board this calendar week as well as therefore I saw a tweet from @SimpleGourmetLA alongside the persuasion for a "mojito cucumber, mango as well as strawberry salad." It occurred to me that both cucumber as well as mango could become either way--sweet or savory.
I'm e'er looking for ways to run mutual ingredients inwards slightly unexpected ways. Here the twist is using cucumber inwards a sweetness fruit salad as well as using sweetness mango inwards a savory salad. English linguistic communication cucumber is available twelvemonth circular as well as does non ask to last peeled. It has a really mild flavor as well as a fine texture without large slippery seeds. Best of all, it has a terrific crunch! I used the most ordinarily available mango, the Tommy Atkins multifariousness inwards both salads. It's non a really tropical, luscious or creamy mango, but to a greater extent than of a workhorse, alongside citrus-like flavor, able as well as willing to stand upward up to whatsoever you lot need of it. It's a chip on the theater side therefore it's especially skillful inwards salads.
For the sweetness salad I combined cucumber, mango as well as strawberries as well as for the savory version, cucumber, mango as well as radishes. You powerfulness recognize the ingredients from the savory salad equally beingness similar to what you lot honour Mexican street vendors selling. Each salad is flavored alongside lime, but the sweetness salad gets a comport upon of love as well as mint, the savory salad, a pinch of tabular array salt as well as greenish onion. Both are bursting alongside juiciness, squelch as well as Summery flavors as well as would last groovy at a picnic. I'd serve the savory salad alongside grilled fish or chicken. I'd serve the sweetness salad alongside a scoop of sorbet or only a twosome of cookies.
