Mango Salsa

We are always up for a good Mexi-American dish, so when we had some friends over a few weeks ago, and planned tacos for dinner, we were all over some fresh Mango Salsa (and Pico de Gallo, but I forgot to take photos of that, dang it).  We have made mango salsa on a few occasions before; but this was, by far, the best so far.

MANGO SALSA

Ingredients:
– 2 large, ripe mangoes
– 1/2 large, purple onion
– 1 medium bunch of cilantro
– 1 large, red bell pepper
– 1 large, orange bell pepper
– 1 large, green bell pepper
– Juice from 1/2 of a medium lime (or approx 2-3 Tbsp lime juice)
– 1 tsp garlic powder

Directions:
– Peel and dice the mangoes.  Put them into a large bowl.
– Chop the onion.  Add to the bowl.  You can add more or less to taste and depending on the potency of your onion.
– Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
– Seed and chop the bell peppers.  Dice and add them to the bowl as well.
– Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze 1/2 of the lime wedges over the salsa.
– Stir the salsa until well mixed.
– Sprinkle the garlic powder over the salsa and mix well.

Chill and serve.
Serves 4-6.

You can always adjust the amounts of the ingredients to taste.  Serve with tortilla chips, in tacos or with a spoon… the latter is my favorite way to eat it!  =)  Enjoy!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
