Mango in guacamole?

Yes!

The unusual sounding combination works terrifically. The mango adds a hint of sweetness and tropical flair that is really, really good.

Chunky Mango Guacamole

Ingredients:

3 medium ripe avocados
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 to 3 limes, juiced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 clove garlic, grated
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1/2 small habañero (ribs and seeds removed unless you want it hot), minced (I used a sprinkling of red pepper flakes)

Directions:

1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados and season with salt, pepper and lime juice.

2. Stir in the cilantro, onion, garlic, mango, and habanero (or pepper flakes). Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Serves 4 to 6

“Afterwards” is such a sweet and sad end of a relationship song. I love the dramatic change at the 1:30 minute mark.

“No time is wasted
when you’re waking up slowly
I can’t place it
but I’ve tasted being lonely
with you gently on my mind
only afterwards”
