I’ve been craving a chilled mango salsa, especially now that mangoes are in season. This dish might just become my staple summer side, complementing everything from rice to tacos and even steak. The combination of sweet mango and strawberry, zesty lime, fragrant cilantro, crisp peppers, and tangy Tajin blend harmoniously, creating a burst of flavors in every bite. It’s a refreshing and vibrant taste that effortlessly pairs with many dishes.
While I love the process of meal preparation—chopping, mincing, and seasoning—sometimes with recipes requiring extensive chopping like this one, I opt for pre-chopped ingredients to simplify the process. This makes cooking a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Uuuhhh don’t forget to send me pics when you make yours. Okay, lets get into it.
