Mango and Tomato Salsa
Mango wasn’t a fruit that I recall us ever eating as kids. I remember enjoying local seasonal fruit, especially ones we grew in our home garden.
Yet didn’t have exotic and tropical fruits very often. It wasn’t until I started travelling, and when mango was the local fruit – that I feel in mango love.
Since then I can confidently say it’s my favourite fruit, yet more often than not I simply eat them fresh. And yes, that is plural.
More often than not, I come by case sales on my favourite fruit.
So I’ve started making mango recipes such as this Blueberry Mango Smoothie.
Paired with fresh garden tomatoes that are readily available right now, this Mango and Tomato Salsa is my summertime bestie.
Aside from the already mentioned frugal buy right now, it’s also so delicious. For those that know me well, know that I adore regular tomato salsa.

Add or omit the spice from the jalapeno pepper if you prefer a milder taste, or have picky kids that don’t like any heat at all. The important thing is the ingredients, not the specific amounts.
