carrot and mango salad

I can call this "Carrot and Mango" salad a traditional one in Tamil homes.It goes way back to my grandmother's era and may be bfore that.It can easily substitute for a soth Indian subzi or a "Curry"

as we call it.It is very common in summer time because of the availability of Raw Mangoes and of course it is too hot to cook in the kitchen.It is a very easy and colourful one as you can see in the picture.My grand mom used to call it as "Uppu Pesaral"(uppu means "salt" and pesaral is "Toss").
