Dinner is Served

tonight i made something for dinner that made eric say that it was the best meal he has ever had!  thrilling to hear that, you can imagine.  we had grilled salmon with a delicious mango avocado chutney, broiled asparagus, wild rice, and a salad. for years now, i have loved to cook, always feeling pretty competent for any new recipe.  but i will tell you what made me feel like a total loser in the kitchen- cutting a mango for the first time! how have i gone this many years in my life and never have cut a mango before?  it wasn't pretty, but it was sure worth it. you should give it a try:


1 mango cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 avocado cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 tomato cut up into 1/2 inch dice (when in season)
3 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 small lemon
1/2 small red onion, small dice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
