Recipe: Pasta, Mango and Green Bell Pepper
with a Ginger Dressing
The last mango of the season. The tree produced 82 mangoes this year. We met our neighbors who came by to pick fruit from the tree. We made 6 Banana Mango Breads and 60 Muffins. Family and friends enjoyed these sweet and juicy mangoes.
With this last mango, I wanted to make something different. There were two bell peppers ready for picking. What would blend well with this combination?
