	Mango and Red Pepper Salsa by Hina Gujral The natural sweetness and tanginess of a mango is bliss, no added flavors are required if mango is used in any curry or salad. Mango and Red Pepper Salsa is the medley of colors and flavors, in this hot weather it is an eye and palate soother. The bursting colors of this salsa is very much like the current colorful diagram shown in…	1 vote 3470 views
