Refreshing Mango Salad !

Was at a friend's place this afternoon playing bridge and along with a couple of hot snacks and tea, she served a very refreshing chilled Mango Salad, which was yummy and just perfect for the muggy weather we are experiencing in Mumbai. Mango salad is most simple to make and needs just a few ingredients. Here's how you can make it. 
Ingredients
1 large Badami Mango (Ripe but firm)
A  couple of tsps of fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp red chillie powder
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
10 to 15 mint leaves.

Procedure
Peel the mango and cut it into vertical strips like you would chop potatoes for french fries. Place the slices in a bowl. Sprinkle chillie powder, salt, lemon juice and finely chopped mint leaves. Mix well and arrange mango pieces nicely in a salad dish and chill for about 30 minutes. Serve  chilled with other snacks or a meal, or just by itself as a light filler in between meals. 
You may also ad a dash of pepper powder if you like.
