Categories     Fish     Fruit     Broil     Low Cal     Backyard BBQ     Mango     Tuna     Bell Pepper     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large mango, pitted peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 6-ounce tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush tuna with oil. Grill or broil until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Divide mango salad among 4 plates. Top with tuna and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: The best mangoes for this salad are ripe but still firm. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of colors: To make your salad more visually appealing, use a variety of colored mangoes. This will also give your salad a variety of flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and mint, add a lot of flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will get tough if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This colorful mango salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and savory, give this salad a try!
