Mango Grapefruit Salsa
Mango is a fruit that just about everyone loves; and for that matter, ruby red grapefruit also has a lot of fans. However, you do not see the two served together all that often.
However, all that just might be about to change. This mango grapefruit salsa recipe combines these two fruits in a new and unexpected way. Mango is of course a somewhat common salsa ingredient and mango salsas are gaining popularity - but grapefruit is something you will not often find in a salsa recipe.
Together, these two create a one of a kind dip. Try it with seafood, roasted chicken and of course, tortilla chips; it is something you will probably want to make again and soon!
Tangy Mango Grapefruit Salsa
Ingredients -
1 ruby red grapefruit, peeled, sectioned and sliced
1 mango, peeled, seeded and sliced
3 green onions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Fresh ground black pepper and salt, to taste
Preparation:
Peel the grapefruit and mango. Separate the grapefruit into sections and slice each about ¼" thick. Peel and chop the mango, cutting around the large flat seed in the center. Slice the onion, mince the jalapeno and cilantro, and add, along with the fruit, to a bowl.
Add red wine vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Season the salsa with fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste and refrigerate. Allow to refrigerate for a few hours for the flavors to blend (your grapefruit mango salsa will taste much better if you allow for enough time to do this).
As good as this recipe is, do not make vast quantities of salsa unless you plan to eat it all within a day or so. Grapefruit and mango salsa tastes its best when consumed within a day and does not keep well for more than a few days, so keep this in mind. After all, it is easy enough to make that you can make up another batch of this mouthwatering salsa recipe any time you like.
