Refreshing Mango Cilantro Salsa Recipe
This is a super simple recipe that yields great results. The fruity goodness of this salsa goes well with chips, tacos, or meats. It is chunky enough to be a side dish or stand alone salad. Try serving it with a grilled salmon or some jerked chicken. The refreshing sweet taste of the mango comes through and highlights the best flavors of the rest of the meal.
Chunks of sweet, yellow mango bring lots of color to your table. Pile it on top of chicken breast, fish fillet, or a slice of roast pork. It goes well with fish tacos; just pile it into the taco on top of the fish. You could also bring a batch of this with you for lunch on a warm day; the fruit is filling and refreshing.
Choose ripe mangos if you are buying them the same day you want to use them, otherwise choose some that need to ripen a few days if you are buying them ahead of time. This is a recipe that you can make the day before if you are pressed for time. Fruit salsas are a delicious way to add flavor and nutrition to any meal. They go with so many different foods and they pair up well with the spicy onions and other ingredients often used in salsas. When you are looking for something different to spice up your menu, think of fruit salsas like this one. The mango brings a bit of exotic flavor and color to your everyday meal, elevating it from good to great.
