Mango, Tomato, and Red Onion Salad

Its mango season here in South Florida! With almost an unlimited supply of mangos, being that my grandma has five trees in her backyard. This summer we will make sure to have plenty of recipes with mangos included.

This salad is a healthy finger food for brunch or a nice appetizer before dinner.

We use slightly under-ripe mangos with this recipe for two reasons. The firmness makes it easier for people to pick up with fingers instead of having to always use a utensil. Also, the subtle sweetness goes really well with the ripe tomatoes.
