  • “Delicious.Couldn’t get a hold of chili flakes and had to use powder.That worked fine.Also, I know many people use under ripe mangos for this and it is really good as well.”

  • “This was a bit HOT! I can`t say if it was my home grown peppers but please do add a bit at a time and taste as you add. The sweetness of the sugar and balsamic helped with the heat. I did add olive oil, used 1 red pepper and cut the herbs down to half. Being this is a mango saladwanted the mango to come through not the herbs!”
