Food is expensive these days, so every time I get a chance to make something at home rather than buy it, it choose to make it. I recently bought a mango for 79cents and turned it in to a delicious salsa, which I use on chicken or fish, or just plain!
Here's what's in it. The fact that it took less than 10 minutes to make, and the total cost for a big container of salsa, was about $1.50.
Mango Salsa
1 mango, ripe, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/4 red pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, diced
1/4 bunch of cilantro, diced
1/4 jalapeno, seed removed, diced (more if you like it hotter)
lime juice
salt (to taste)
Combine all ingredients. Use enough lime juice, about 1/4 cup or maybe a little more, to coat all ingredients and have it the consistency of tomato salsa. Salt to taste. It gets better with age, so make it and put in the refrigerator overnight before using. It's a great condiment for chicken or fish, or just toss it in a salad or use on fish taco. So many ways to use it. Enjoy
