Corn and Mango Salad

Since we are in the heat of summer, I thought a refreshing and cool salad would be in order today. I came up with this on my way home from work today and it is awesome!

Corn and Mango Salad

1 bag Frozen Corn (Thaw it out)
2 plum tomatoes (or 1 medium sized tomato) Diced
2 Fresh Mangos diced
1 Cubanelle pepper sliced thin
2 small red peppers (hot, medium, mild, use what you want)
1 teaspoon of garlic
1 teaspoon of cilantro or Italian Seasoning
Dress with olive oil and vinegar to taste (I used white wine vinegar, but use what you got)

There is a thin pit that runs through the middle of the mangos. Slice off the sides and then you should be able to slice off the small strips left over. Peel and dice all of the flesh.

Dice your tomatoes, remove the seeds and get rid of the liquid.

Slice the peppers in thin strips, after you have removed the seeds.

Mix everything in a big bowl and add seasonings, oil and vinegar.

Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours.

I am adding this to the menu tonight, we are having fajitas. I think this will make for a great side.
