This bright and colourful mango salsa is so easy to put together as a really fresh light lunch or a starter. The heat from the chilli is perfectly off set with the sweetness of the mango and the juicy prawns top it all off. The husband ‘hates tropical fruits’ but he was won over by this (pineapple next for you JD!)
It takes 15mins to put together, so it’s perfect for lazy summer days. One word of warning though, do your chopping before you have a drink or you may slice half your thumb nail off….either that or just keep that thumb tucked in! Poor knife skills!
Use the freshest ingredients you can lay your mittens on for maximum flavour and don’t scrimp on the prawns (you can of course use shrimp as a substitute). If you have left over mango salsa it keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Seriously drooling over this – my favourite things are prawns and mangos! The combination is so delightful!

Mango in combination with some spicy heat is just a perfect combination. A great way to enjoy prawns.
