Is it Summer yet??
No.
Dang.
Well, this delicious salsa will at least make you think about Summer!
I served it with cinnamon sugar pita chips as a side, but I think it would also be wonderful on a grilled tilapia or chicken breast. I didn't have either of those proteins on hand though, so we just snarfed it down with the chips! If you aren't a huge basil fan, I would recommend starting out small and adding more to taste (I only did 4. But they were larger anyway).

3/4 Cup Strawberries, finely diced
3/4 Cup Mangos, finely diced
1/4 Cup Red Onion, finely chopped
6 Basil Leaves, finely chopped
1 TBSP Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
Combine all ingredients and allow to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, covered.
We ate this in about 2 days, but it should keep well in a sealed container for about a week.
In all my greatest fantasies my food gets to be scrumptiously delectable and healthy at the same time...does this make you my genie?! I hope so, cause I definitely want two more wishes!!!
ReplyDeletenow this looks absolutely divine! must make immediately.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. . . I wish we could afford mangos and strawberries!
ReplyDeletereally? you can if you want.
DeleteI think this would be good on grilled fish too.
ReplyDeletesounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this is already a common knowledge comment, but just in case...please, please, please be sure you PEEL the mango prior to cutting it up...
ReplyDeleteOtherwise it was DE-LISH!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
The Pampered Chef sells an awesome tool called a "Mango Wedger".. It is wonderful!!! They also have a "Pineapple Wedger".. These tools make it so easy to enjoy fruits we may not want to buy because it take so much work to get into them.
ReplyDeleteI am a PC consultant, so if you don't already know a PC consultant, let me know and I can help you get one..
I am making this right away!
OH.. and what kind of chips did you serve with the salsa? They look like a kind of cinnamon chip?
ReplyDeleteSalsa is in the fridge, chicken is in the oven, and by the time I make my salad I'll be ready to try this wonderfully colorful recipe!! I bought pita chips, too, so I can take some to work tomorrow to let the girls try it! Can't wait ... thanks!(Don't know where the "Aunt Linda" came from, but don't know how to change it!!!)

Made this tonight and served it with fish - it was really good! My husband really liked it and he's not very big on fruit with meat. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to make this on Saturday with some fish. Minus the lemon. Hopefully it will still come out ok.
ReplyDeleteYummy and easy to make! This is great! I used it on toasted bread though. But it still tasted great! Thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteGoing to add diced apples for crunch.
