Ingredients
-
2
fresh mangoes
-
1
red Thai chili, sliced very thing
-
3
stalks of Thai basil
-
1/4
medium red onion, diced
-
juice of one lime
-
salt to taste
Directions
-
Pull the leaves from the Thai basil stalks and give them a rough chop. Combine mango, chili, Thai basil leaves, onion and lime juice in a bowl. Add a pinch (or two) of salt to taste. Best to let sit around in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can get to know one another.
