Just wanted to put you all on notice that mangoes are in season! That means they are both cheap and delicious. I’ve been buying gobs of them each week for one dollar a piece and gobbling them up rapidly, you should too. Mangoes are not only sweet … they’re full of vitamins C and A, so indulge as often as you can. They taste great in veggies salads, smoothies, fruit salads and as a part of your favorite meat kabobs. Below is one of my favorite recipes from my book, The Everything Flat Belly Cookbook.  The crunchy vegetables in this salad complement the soft and sweet mango flavor brilliantly. Not only will you find it delicious, you’ll enjoy its colorful appearance.
