Thai Green Mango Salad

Submitted by StoryMom

"I wanted a simple salad to go with a Thai baked fish recipe I loved. I wanted it to be simple yet tasty. I found several out there...but pared it down to what I had on hand. We thought it was a keeper recipe! This is a simple recipe that you can custom fit to your taste or mood...or whatever you have on hand. Pepper: use red bell pepper for color but not heat OR use chili pepper for the heat Meat option: add 1/2 lb of cooked, peeled, deveined shrimp Veggie additions: thin strips of carrots, zucchini, green onions (sliced fine), etc. (can substitute the shallot for sweet onion)"
