Happy bold and pungent day!
Pungent taste is sharp, concentrated, and intense. It spreads quickly throughout the mouth and digestive tract. Chillies and black pepper are common pungent tastes.
So to celebrate the day, let’s be bold and make something pungent!
For today I have adapted Christine Cushing’s recipe from the food network. The original recipe can be found here: http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/spicy-green-mango-and-cucumber-salad/6904/
