This is a delicious partner for grilled fish. Don't forget fresh crusty bread to soak up every bit of the warm vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 4 thick bacon slices, diced
  • 1/2 medium-size red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet.

Sauté onion in hot drippings 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add vinegar, lime juice, and honey; cook 2 minutes, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet.
