Ingredients
- 1 mango, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
- Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions
- Combine the mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.

Delicious, subbed Turkey for the beef
Real good and easy recipe. We used parsley in stead of cilantro (the wife doesn’t like cilantro) and ground sirloin.
