Another week of #TomatoLove is here! Are you as exited as I am? I don’t think anyone loves tomatoes as much as I do! I become weakened at the knees at the smell of the stem…just beautiful! We are still swimming in tomatoes given by our neighbors and finding more creative ways to use them. I called my mom and asked her for advice on this weeks top- “salsas and dips”. At first I was thinking about a roasted tomato and feta dip, but with this scorching heat, that wouldn’t feel so appetizing to me at the moment. Then mom suggested a fruit-tomato salsa.
Now here me out, I am pretty picky with my salsa-you know, living in So Cal and all. I like my salsa authentic and spicy made by someone that doesn’t speak a word of English. But why not…go big or go home right? The mangoes looked amazing and I had a hot pepper…I can do this. And I did. Slightly sweet and a nice kick was what this salsa was all about. Refreshing and satisfying and carrying just enough heat.
Tomato Mango Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 mango chopped into cubes
- 2-3 to matoes seeded and chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 small serrano or jalapeno pepper chopped (with or without seeds)
- 1 bunch of cilantro or parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss together all ingredients in a bowl and allow to marinate together for at least 20 minutes. Check for seasoning.

July 22, 2012 at 12:51 pmEver considered a tomato and mango gazpacho? However, this is another great way to use them.
