Mangos… ahh the most delicious fruit. I remember when I first tried mangos I told my mom she would never have to buy me Christmas presents again because I just wanted mangos (true story). I seem to be able to eat endless amounts of this elite fruit. When I went to Thailand I ate pretty much nothing but mangoes for two weeks straight because they were SO good. I was a little spoiled by those mangoes, so I have to wait for them to be PERFECT to eat them here in UT… August is the month for mangoes, my friends, and I am LOVING it. This mango salsa is the best way to get mangoes on your dinner plate.

This is the epitome of summer right here. This salsa has everything you could want in it. A lil’ sweet, a lil’ tangy, a lil’ spicy. Great on chips, fish, grilled chicken, or you could just eat it with a spoon. This salsa will add a little bit of paradise to anything you put it on.

Some Notes:

No tricks for this one other than making sure your ingredients are fresh and ripe. TIP: You can tell if a mango is ripe if it is just a lil’ bit soft when you squeeze it (think like peaches or avocados).

You will want to take the seeds out of your tomatoes. This will help prevent your salsa from becoming too watery. To do this, cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out all the seeds and goop.

To be SPICY or not to be SPICY

If you want your salsa to have a lil’ bit more kick you can add another jalapeno. If you are going for more mild salsa, cut the white spongy stuff off of the jalapeno and make sure there are no seeds (that’s where all the heat is). Then you can have the flavor of jalapeno without all the face melting. TIP: wash your hands very well after cutting jalapenos and whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES! …I learned that lesson the hard way, and it’s not pretty.
