3 tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 mangos, peeled, seeded and chopped
1-2 jalapenos (depending on your spice-tolerance/preference), seeded and finely chopped
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 lime
2 avocados
1. Combine chopped tomatoes, red onion, mango, jalapeno and cilantro in a medium-sized bowl. Add fresh-squeezed juice from 1 lime. Stir to combine. Add salt to taste. Place mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve, preferably overnight.
2. Before serving, add chopped avocados and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips.
I have to give primary credit for this recipe to Mary McMullin who asked me to come up with a salsa to serve with simple grilled chicken breasts, using her 2 mangos, a few tomatoes and an avocado. I insisted that we add onion and jalapeno to spice it up and have since added the lime which helps to preserve the ingredients and adds a nice citrusy splash. I just served this on a camping trip in Michigan. I divided the batch into two servings, tossed them in the cooler and added 1 avocado per serving to keep it fresh. Great way to use those farmer’s market tomatoes and serve a big crowd. You can also mix it up by adding different peppers such as any bell pepper or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
