Mango Salsa

This past weekend was a great time for some spring cleaning. We organized a lot of things in the house and got some much needed gardening done. When we did have time to take a break from the reorganization and composting effort we went inside and made a quick and refreshing snack.

Mango salsa is so easy to make, especially when you have a food processor. Sometimes it can be difficult if you like your salsa a little on the chunky side like we do because a food processor is like a little adorable beast who's first instinct is to puree everything you feed it. Sometimes that can be nice, but if you're like us and want to keep some texture to your fruits and vegetables, but don't feel like chopping all day, then you need to take some extra steps.

You will need:

1 fresh mango

1/2 fresh plum tomato (optional)

1/2 fresh red onion

1/2 fresh red bell pepper

1/2 fresh green bell pepper

3 tbsp fresh cilantro

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon lemon juice

De-seed and then chop all your fruits and veggies into large chunks.

This is the important part- if you want your salsa chunky put each item in the food processor seperately. As in, put in your mango, process to desired size, and set aside. Then do your tomato and so on. You can put them in all together but it will come out a lot thinner. 

Next, mix them all together in a large bowl and add your salt, pepper, and cumin along with your lime and lemon juice. Fresh from the fruit is best here but the pre-bottled stuff will work.

We suggest serving it with chips as a snack or as a topping with tacos or fried tofu.

 Easy and delicious!
