Mango Indignation

I bought a mango at the g store for Reeves. He informed me that he no longer eats mango in his smoothies. Indignant, I turned to Alice Waters for inspiration. She offers this very simple salsa for fish or chicken (actually, hers is a little more subtle than mine; she used 1/2 c. cilantro. Helps to be Alice Waters and always have lotsa stuff in the frig):

One mango, peeled and diced
about 1/4 c vidalia onion (she says "sweet")
small amount of jalapeno, minced
juice of a lime

Mix and let it sit a while.

What might A.W. use as a sweet onion? Well, at the Berkeley farmers market a few weeks ago I bought something called a Whalawhala (sp?) onion. They are VERY sweet, and are great raw.

Wow. What did you do with it?
I think there's a town in Washington state called "Walla Walla."
I used the mango indignation last night on halibut, marinated in the yogurt-garlic-black pepper-jalapeno-oil-salt mix that I think you had while you were out here. It was really good that way.
