Mango Margarita Relish

"It IS technically a relish, I suppose, but we tend to eat this more like a salad. Goes great with a spicy main course-- very cool and refreshing! Especially pretty if you can manage to dice the mango and the veggies in equal-sized pieces. Tequila could be replace by lime juice for a non-alcoholic version."

  1. Delicious! I resisted my usual impulse to add/change--I made it just as written--alovely relish which we enjoyed with grilled shrimp one night, and as a side for a salad meal another. Thanks, FM!
     
  2. I served this on a salad with some leftover chicken. A wonderful combination of tastes and textures. My parsley was looking a tad aged to I used 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro instead. This changed the intended flavor a bit but was still yummy. I could see making this with all sorts of variations such as using lime for the lemmon or adding a very light sprinkle of cayenne. Thanks Minx!
     
  3. A treat for both the palate and the eyes! Great mixture of flavours. I made everything as per the recipe this time and it is very tasty. However, I found the tequila a tad overbearing, so I think next time I'll cut it with a bit of lime juice, but that's just a personal preference. This would be great with grilled chicken or shrimp, and, it's wonderful right out of the bowl. Thanks FlemishMinx.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home. I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!) I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
