Great recipe, will make it again. Perfect for a vegetarian dinner where you cannot trust on the mockmeat to be the interesting part of the meal. Will definitely also be making this for future BBQ's.

Very nice, I had it for dinner with a lamb chop. The mango isn't overpowering at all, it complements the lime and chilli nicely.

Really enjoyed this. The mango added a nice sweetness and the lime and coriander added lots of flavour. Super easy and great to take to work

I am not sure what the author of this recipe intended to do but it did go spectacularly wrong. Mango and Tomato, as expected, really do not go well together. Using an avocado does not make a guacamole either.

Really good recipe!! I decided not to put the lime zest in - I think the flavour is way too bitter, so I ended up putting the the juice of 1 1/2 limes. Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for more Mexican flavours. Lovely as an addition to the BBQ spread. Excellent with fried halloumi :)
