Fire and Ice Salad

This is not for the faint of heart. Serve this dish to your more adventurous friends and family. The Smoking Tropical and Mango Chipotle are very hot salsas. For a nice serving option, serve salad in large chilled Margarita-type glasses. Dip the rims in fresh lime juice, then coat rims with coarse salt. Don't forget the little paper umbrellas!

Either Mango Chutney or Pineapple Chutney would be wonderful with this recipe. Be sure to char the bell pepper. It removes the tough skin and adds a wonderful smoky flavor to this dish.
