MANGO SLAW

Excellent with grilled tuna or swordfish. Papaya may be substituted for the mango.

3 large green (unripe) mangoes
1 red bell pepper-cut into 1/8-inch strips
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 or 5 shakes Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the seed. Using a hand grater or mandolin, shred as if for coleslaw, or cut by hand into 1/8-inch strips. In a large bowl combine mango with red pepper strips. Mix the mayonnaise, sugar, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in another bowl. Add to the salad tossing well. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Serves 6 to 8
