Author Notes: Somehow while I was trying to upload a new recipe, it got published twice. So since I can't seem to delete it, I have decided to modify the recipe into another raw salad. I will upload a new photo, but am putting in a similar image which also shows white onion with Aleppo. - Sagegreen - Sagegreen
Food52 Review: Sagegreen is the Queen of Tom-Mango (tomatoes and mangoes, cf. Heirloom Tomato and Mango Lassi with Ground Sumac). This salad epitomizes the virtues of combining tomatoes and mangoes; it's simple to assemble and has a mix of ingredients that results in complex flavours. I loved the sweet and pleasant bite of white onions, balancing juicy mangoes and tasty tomatoes. Looking for fragrance? Enter lime, aka Citrus aurantifolia and basilicum, full of fresh, floral scents. Thank you SG. - Kitchen Butterfly - Kitchen Butterfly
Serves 2-4
- 1 cup fresh diced mango
- 1 cup diced heirloom tomato
- 1/8 cup, thinly sliced sweet white onion, optional

I made this after going to a friend's farm and picking tomatoes, peppers, and basil. I used purple onion slivers because I had some left over from a recipe yesterday and I skipped the EVOO. I intended to eat half and save the other for tomorrow but I at the whole thing (I had skipped lunch and it was 3:30 so I was hungry)! Delicious! I think I'll make some more tomorrow morning to take to work to share.
