Thursdays Recipe Spotlight

So I was in the grocery store last week and what do I see?  MANGOS 2 for a $1!!

If you know me you know that I just had to buy some because that is quite cheap, usually a "good" price is $1 a piece!  I picked up four having no idea what I would do with them but I knew I could fine something.

Well so far we have eaten one and 2 are going to be pureed and frozen to use for smoothies or mango margaritas.  What did I do with the 4th you ask?

Mango Salsa


And I have the recipe for you!

Ingredients:

1 mango
6 roma tomatoes
1 red onion
1 bunch cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
salt to taste
*if you like things spicy throw in some cayenne pepper or dice up a chile or jalepeño pepper*

Directions:

Dice up your mango, tomatoes and onion into small cubes.  Throw in a bowl.  Chop up the cilantro and throw into the bowl.  Add 1/4 cup of lime juice and mix well.  Salt to your tastes and let it sit covered in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.  I prefer it when it has sat overnight since all the flavors have a chance to blend together.

This is great used as a topping on fish or chicken, wonderful mixed into a salad or of course eaten the good old fashion way with some delicious tortilla chips!  If your like me you could also just dig right it!!
