This was a bit HOT! I can`t say if it was my home grown peppers but please do add a bit at a time and taste as you add. The sweetness of the sugar and balsamic helped with the heat. I did add olive oil, used 1 red pepper and cut the herbs down to half. Being this is a mango salad wanted the mango to come through not the herbs!

Wow, what a wonderful salad!! Mint with hot peppers AND balsamic! What could be better for luscious mangos? This salad was a huge hit. A flavor delight. We didn't eat it all, but used the leftovers the next morning as a side to an omlette. It was wonderful with eggs. Really different and good. Thanks for posting this refreshing and delightful salad recipe.
