Mango Fruit Salad

Mango Fruit Salad

I love mango.  My kids have a mango song and dance they do whenever i buy mangos.  This summer has been so excruciatingly hot and i haven't been real into cooking so much.  So, a summery fruit salad was just the thing to hit the spot.  We love trying new things or new twists on old favorites...  so we twisted up this mango fruit salad.

*  2 mango chunked
*  1 ripe but firmish avocado cubed
*  6 strawberries chunked
*  about 7 sprigs of cilantro... just leaves, ripped or chopped
*  juice from half a lime
*  1/2 tsp crushed red pepper...   like what you put on pizza.
    and this part is optional...  but oh so good.

So, pretty much all you do is take the ingredients and stir them all together in a medium sized bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend...  If you do try this recipe...  do try it with the crushed red pepper.   It's that one thing that gives it that twist- like a surprise kick in your mouth!
