Hey Amy!

Any time you are BBQ’ing you want simple side dishes that are fresh and full of flavor.  This dish falls into that category.  It’s a vegetarian salad so it covers in two categories–vegetarian and side dish.  I can’t keep this bowl full when I have cookouts.

Ingredients:

2 large ripe mangoes
3 to  4 large ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
1 Vidalia onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
1/4 c. fresh OJ
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (go ahead, substitute with lemon if that’s what you have)
salt and pepper to taste

Peel the mangoes and chop them, making sure you grab all the juice in a nice full size bowl.  Add tomatoes, avocado, onion and chives.   Toss carefully yet well.  Add the orange juice and lime juice and toss one more time.  Toss in the salt and pepper and chill until ready to serve.  Serves 6.  Double, triple, quadruple when having a lot of guests.
