cinco de may-I-share-this-recipe-with-you

So, mangoes have recently worked their way up my list of favorite fruits. Coincidentally, tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, and so in celebration, my mom and I made mango salsa chicken for dinner tonight. Whether you are having a Cinco de Mayo celebration or you just want to turn your dinner plate into its own fiesta, this was a delicious dish. Super sweet and fresh, filling, and colorful.

Mangoes are a good source of fiber and Vitamin A, which helps with bone growth and healthy eyes. The salsa is also packed with other vegetables, and can be altered to your liking. If you feel daring, add Jalapenos!! The salsa went very well with grilled chicken (seasoned with Cajun seasoning), but it could also go well with chips or chopped vegetables to dip!



Here's what you'll need:
yields 8 servings
2 mangoes
1/2 large cucumber
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 mini red bell peppers
1 medium red onion
juice from 2 limes
salt and pepper to taste

1. Dice mangoes in centimeter cubes.



2. Chop all other ingredients into similar or slightly smaller pieces.

It's hard to tell, but I seeded the cucumber so it wouldn't be too watery
3. Mix everything together and pour lime juice on salsa.



4. Refrigerate for an hour.

5. Enjoy!!
