How to Make the Vegetable Mango Relish

All you need to do for this vegetable mango relish is listed in below three steps.

1. Lightly sauté some diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion in some olive oil for about five minutes.
2. Then, add diced fresh mango, remove from heat, and let cool. While you’re waiting, throw together this five-ingredient homemade lemon vinaigrette.
3. Combine the dressing with the relish, top off with fresh basil (or fresh cilantro if that’s more your style).

There you have it. I have a feeling this will be one of your go-tos for the warmer months.

How to Enjoy

This mango relish is extremely versatile and perfect for a spring or summer patio dinner or barbecue. I suggest serving this relish over pork chops, chicken, or grilled fish like mahi-mahi, salmon, tuna, etc. You could even serve it with tortilla chips and avocado for a California-style appetizer.

If you’re looking for another way to jazz up your dinner recipes, try this mango salsa with fresh lime juice,  and for a warm side dish, this Warm Black Bean Salad with Kale and Tomatoes also comes highly recommended.
