My buddy is out in Montana fossil hunting. While he is away I'm handling some of his business. I had to go by his parents house to pick up some papers. His dad offered me some mangoes from his tree. Now I don't like mangoes, but I took some anyway. I had never seen this variety before, all yellow skin with no trace of orange or red. I tried it and liked it. Karen tried a little bit to see if she would react to it. She had no reaction and ate some more. We are going to use it in a salsa/salad with jerk chicken.

I have a new-found fondness for mango salsa :yum: I made some to go with fish recently and it was delicious. I used mango, red bell pepper, jicama, lime zest and juice, and mint. DH liked it, too.

Mmm. Mango salsa on grilled mahi mahi with slivered toasted macadamia nuts. Mmmm.

I use a bottled mango grilling sauce from a local supermarket chain. Ingredients are mango, sugar, sweet red peppers, apple cider vinegar, onions, dijon mustard, pepper sauce, and a bunch of chemicals. I use it on salmon and pork tenderloins.

Mmmmm, a bunch of chemicals. Sounds yummy! :rolleyes:
 
I like mangos, but they don't like me and cause an allergic reaction of numbness and tingling of lips and tongue. For some reason, this yellow one didn't cause a reaction and I made sure it would if there was going to be a problem on my second round of tasting. Can't wait to try another in the salad for tomorrow night's dinner.
 
GG, your mango salsa looks and sounds good. I really need to try that. I love mangoes - they are my favorite fruit, and my grandson would eat them all day long if I let him.

Craig, as soon as I saw that Mango, I thought Pirie Mango, my Father's fav, or a Haden
