Mango Salsa
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Before getting to today's recipe, I wanted to let you know about an article in Gourmet Live that lists the 50 most important women in food. The list is fairly comprehensive and contains some entries and omissions that might surprise you. At the very least, it will give you something to talk about with other foodies and friends. Over the course of the next year, I'm going to try to make one dish created by each of the women on the list. If you'd like to join in the fun, email me and we can formalize a schedule. Otherwise, I'll aim to publish one recipe each Friday starting the second week in June. I hope to hear from you.
The hail was a bit much, but other than that we've had a great day. The fajitas and tacos were both well-received and everyone loved the mango salsa I'm featuring here tonight. This simple condiment is a feature of Mexican, Asian and Indian cuisine. This version has a decidedly Mexican bent and, like yesterday's pico de gallo, a recipe is needed only to list the ingredients required to make it. Once they are assembled the dish becomes a chop, combine and chill affair that can be tailored to your liking. I do hope you will give it a try. Here's the recipe.

3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

How appropriate as I head north to the tropics downunder in Australia!!
ReplyDeleteWe may even visit the mango capital of Australia - Bowen!!
Have a great week!
Well, I'm a big fan of mango chutney, so I bet I'll like this too.
ReplyDeleteI love mango but I don't buy it too often, I've seen salsas like this but never tried it. Well, I am for sure going to try this soon! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea for the new series you're starting! I make mango salsa often, and love it! And pineapple salsa too :) Great picture, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI love salsa like these, it is common in Philippines but we use the semi ripe mangoes so theres a hint of sourness and sweetness to it. We do pair it with grilled meats and they are a perfect pair!
ReplyDeleteMango, I just love them! Never tried them like that, this looks very inviting!
ReplyDeleteI ma a big fan of mangoes too! Thanks for the lovely recipe! Just need to try getting some jalapeƱo chillies...
ReplyDeleteI adore mango so I know I will love this light and refreshing salsa
ReplyDeleteMabgo salsa is something I ahve been wanting to try for a while, in fact earlier today I bookmarked a recipe using port chops.
ReplyDeleteMango Salsa sounds perfect... I tend to go for sweet and spicy!
ReplyDeleteLove this fresh salad just intime for memorial day weekend... its a perfect refresing starter!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yum! I usually prefer my mango as a dessert, but I could make an exception here :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
ciao

The salsa is pretty and sounds great Mary! I love your challenge to cook from each of the 50 women and look forward to reading about it:@)

ReplyDeleteFabulous Mango Salsa - can't wait to get my hands on a mango again.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your recipes from the 50 most important women in food.
:-) Mandy
Looks positively scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to get a mango (or two) this afternoon. I'd like to make this salsa and do a mango shake. Hope you're having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI took mango salsa to a get together once and I could not believe the attention it drew... no one else there had ever had it... I need some now though now that I'm thinking about it...
ReplyDeleteI love mangoes so this must be yummy. Will give it a try. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I'm unable to view your v
ReplyDeletephotograph, which is a shame as I always enjoy your excellent photography. Mango Salsa is delicious - I don't make it often as mango's aren't always easy to come by, but I have made it a few times. Fresh mango chutney too which is also good.
This looks very good. I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait for our mangos to ripen. We have a huge mango tree, and just in a couple weeks they should be all ripening.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same exact way that I make the mango salsa...absolutely perfect, delicious and divine:DDD
I make my own similar mango salsa as well - its the best. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI know this would go over big with my kids, they love mango! Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMango salsa, a delicious great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this mango salad dear Mary, look nice, huggs, gloria
ReplyDeletevery good idea Mary, I love it!I hope you have a lovely Sunday..
ReplyDeletelooks delicioussssss!
ReplyDeletecheck my dishes and tell me what you think! :)
I love mango salsa! This looks so appetizing.
ReplyDeleteaah what a refreshing bite, i love mangoes and making it into a salad is truly one of the best ways to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I just got handed two of the most glorious mangoes you've ever seen when I was at the farm this morning taking care of the parrots. One has been reserved for my dessert for tonight...perhaps the other is destined to become SALSA! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI love mango salsa. I first experienced it while I was a white water rafting guide in Northern California. A loca B&B gave us a recipe. As everyone has indicated it sounds like the perfect addition to a Memorial Day BBQ (even though it is hailing 2 inches, in the Tehachapi Mtns)
ReplyDeletethank you for your wonderful comment:)i love your blog im a follower now keep the great work up with your blog love all the different kinda food yum!
ReplyDeleteMangoes are my favorite fruit! This salsa sounds like something I want to have on hand to snack on constantly. And I would love to cook through these women's recipes with you! I'll be emailing you.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is jut gorgeous!! Forget how it tastes, I just want to put a big bowl of it on the table for a centerpiece!! Sunshine in a bowl!
ReplyDeleteAs you know,Mary, I am one of your latest converts. I would love to join you in your scheme of making those recipes. There are some things we can't get here in Turkey but I could try!! eg mango!!!
ReplyDeleteClaudia
I absolutely love the way a fresh mango salsa tastes on a crisp, salty chip. Amazing combination.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I'm allergic to mangoes, but it looks delicious! I'll have to make it for my husband...I think he'd really enjoy this salsa!
ReplyDeleteI love mangoes but have never tried mango salsa. I'll put this in my queue.
ReplyDeletemmm... I love mango salsa! We've made it a few times to go over fish. It's just wonderful! I think you and I have a few things in common with respect to food :)
ReplyDeletePerfect salsa. I love the mix of flavors...especially all that gorgeous mango.
ReplyDeleteI love the look and taste of this mango salsa. It would go great with a roasted pork tenderloin.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I was planning on makig mango salsa to go with grilled salmon for dinner tonight. Thank-you for sharing your recipe. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the spice from the jalapeno mixed with the sweetness from the mango. It sounds really balanced.
ReplyDeleteThe mango truly is the star of this salsa - with enough spice to be sweet with a bite. It goes with all - and when the meal is done, the family laps up whatever salsa is left. I love what you are doing and am interested but have never been able to keep to a blogging schedule. I always mean to... but the freelancing changes every month. And I must look up the women in food. Yay to celebrating women in food!
ReplyDeleteI love mango too and this salsa looks and sounds like a perfection!!!Very tasty!!! Thanks for sharing fantastic recipe and have a wonderful rest of the Sunday!
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, It is warm tonight and this mango salsa looks so refreshing! Have a wonderful evening. Blessings, Catherine
ReplyDeleteI'll have to email you, cooking through these recipes sounds like a fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteI could devour that bowl of mango salsa in a blink! without the tacos...I love them as it is!
ReplyDeleteCurious list from Gourmet Live...I'm not sure I agree and I positively think there are a few inclusions and omissions that need reconsideration.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you Mary for taking on the list. It should be quite interesting, and tasty too!!!
You have finally convinced me to reconsider the Mango. Your salsa is worthy of a try, it sure looks "purty."
Thanks for sharing Mary...
Delightful and refreshing! I love mango salsa!!
ReplyDeleteI love mango salsa, and yours looks great! I've never made it with jalapenos before, but I'm sure it's wonderful! :)
