Green mangoes would be ideal, but slightly unripe mangoes are an imperfect but successful substitute.

1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss shallot, garlic, chile, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add mangoes and cucumber and toss again. Cover; let sit at room temperature until shallot and cucumber are softened and juicy and flavors come together, 45-60 minutes.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little bit of spice. I think a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder would really give it a nice kick.

I'm not usually a fan of cucumber, but this chow changed my mind. The sweetness of the mango and the acidity of the lime really balance out the cucumber flavor.
