This little creation happened on the fly.
And by fly I mean I didn't have the exact ingredients for the original recipe.
And by exact ingredients I mean I had a mango, lime and cilantro.
But isn't that really all you need to make a fiesta delight?
Lime and cilantro, that is?
Add a little sea salt and a bunch of fresh diced veggies (and fruit, as it were), and you are a culinary genius in your guests' eyes.
At least that's what happened to me the other night.
And by culinary genius I mean I might have self promoted myself just a little.
Okay, maybe a lot.
Nevertheless, this turned out better than expected.
The mango's sweetness never overpowers the savory sour deliciousness that makes this fresh combination stand out.
Alrighty . . .I give you Melissa's Mango Pepper Salsa!
One diced . . .
... mango
... green, yellow and orange pepper
... red onion
.... 1/2 cup cilantro
2 TBS lime juice
Sea Salt to taste
A dash of cayenne pepper.
Toss together like so.
Serve chilled with chips or on top of a taco, fish, or chicken entree.
Or eat that bad boy all by yourself.
(Not that I did or anything.)
(I waited till our guests left!)
As we've learned today . . .the possibilities are endless.
