Interesting recipe. I think the lime juice really mutes the flavor of the mango though. -
Incredible! This recipe was an explosion of flavor in your mouth. I wasn't expecting anything unusal when I took a bite of it is just mango and watermelon but adding the lime juice, zest and sugar made an incredible flavor. I made it for our annual Memorial Day bbq and it was so interesting to watch people's faces as they tasted it. It took only a couple of seconds for it to register on their faces. The only thing that I did differently was to use Splenda instead of sugar. I will give it a 5* rating and I rarely do that! Excellent! -
This was a great dessert -- light, refreshing, and such a good mix of flavors. It was easy to make, and the combination of these fruits made a salad the whole family raved about. I'll certainly make it again. Thanks! -
How in the world can watermelon and mango (which, next to raspberries, have got to be THE perfect fruits!!!) ever be improved upon? Oh my gorsh! I am SO sorry I didn't start making this sooner---absolutely heaven!!! KEEPER....goes right into my Tried & True binder on the bookshelf! I wish I could give it MORE stars. Simple, easy, delicious! -
A huge success for a party to which I was to bring salad or dessert. This qualified beautifully as both. It is light, refreshing and delicious. The lime mixture "makes" it as a dish.

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice.
Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.
