Kristin's Mango Cucumber Salad

Hi Kiran!

Here's the official recipe, but Meg doctored it up with more generous
helpings of lime, sugar and coconut than called for... I doubled these
proportions for your dinner.

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh chile (we wished we'd had a spicier chile...
ours had no bite at all)
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 small red bell pepper, minced
chopped fresh cilantro or spearmint leaves

Suggestion to chill salad for 20 min. and add cilantro or spearmint
right before serving.

Also good for a salsa.

I look forward to our next cooking gathering!

-Kristin
