i'm not sure if this should go here, but here goes.
i made this the other night, and it was fantastic, extremely simple, and it goes with a ton of dishes, especially grilled meats. i think i must have gleaned a few ideas from watching ming tsai, and maybe bobby flay, to come up with the idea and ingredients.
ingredients:
1 ripe mango,
1 stalk of celery
2 cloves of garlic
4 scallions
1 large jalapeno
1 large roma or plum tomato
2 red radishes
evoo
balsamic vinegar
s&p
cut mango into roughly 1/4" cubes.
slice celery into thirds lengthwise, then across for a small dice.
mince garlic.
cut scallions into small hockey pucks, using both white and firm green parts.
remove core, seeds, and pith from a halved jalapeno. cut into thin juliienne strips, then across for a fine dice.
core tomato and cut into small dice.
cut radishes into small dice, as you would an onion.
add all ingredients to a bowl, drizzle with a few tbsps of evoo, a few splashes of balsamic vinegar, and s&p to taste. mix well and refrigerate. serve as a side or over top of grilled or broiled meats.
that's it, very simple, and very tasty. i am going to add some cubed honeydew melon to the one that i'm making tonight, adding a little more of each of the other ingredients, except the mango.
this is also a great dish to experiment with, adding various herbs like rosemary, oregano, sage, parsley, cilantro, or whatever you have available. same goes for adding firm cubed fruit like melons, apples, pears, etc., adjusting the other ingredients to match the volume of the additions.
