This week, I wanted to try and bring lighter flavors into my dishes. I decided to alter my homemade salsa recipe to include one of my favorite fruits, mangos!! When I was doing my grocery shopping this week, I was so happy to see that mangos were on sale. Not only are they delicious, but you can do so much with them! This salsa recipe is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy! I am going to share two different preparations depending on how you’d like to utilize this salsa!
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
Ingredients:
2 tomatoes on the vine finely chopped
1 1/2 jalapeños finely chopped
1 mango cubed
1/4 red onion finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 lime (squeezed for juice)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 tsp olive oil
Directions:
Chunky salsa preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a roasting pan, put 1 tsp olive oil on the two tomatoes and roast for 15 minutes.
3. Carefully remove the tomatoes and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
4. Once cooled, chop the tomato and place it in a medium sized bowl.
5. Add the chopped jalapeños, red onion, cilantro and cubed mango to the bowl.
6. Squeeze half a lime into the bowl. Then, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a spoon mix all ingredients together.
7. Place in the fridge covered, until ready to serve.
