Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 Thai basil leaves -- to 12 leaves
2 cups diced mango
1/2 cup diced chopped sweet onion -- such as Vidalia
1 small hot chile pepper -- such as serrano or jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Stack the basil leaves, then roll them up together along their length. Thinly slice the leaves across the width of the roll (julienne the basil the leaves).

Put all of the ingredients into a medium bowl and toss to mingle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 2 cups

AuthorNote: serve atop [favorites] or as a tortilla chip dip. Instead of mango, you can use cantaloupe or pineapple.

ChupaNote: I like this recipe with papaya and shallots. Add a handful of chopped fresh cilantro.
