Mango & Melon Salsa
Here is a great recipe for mango salsa.
I will warn you, that mangos are a pain to cut up.
They have a hard flat pit in the center, and you have to work around it.
The outer skin is also tough to peel.
Make sure your mango is nice and ripe and it will make the job much easier.
Here is the best way to peel a mango from Martha Stewart.
Mango & Melon Salsa:
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 cup of ripe canteloupe, diced
2 tablespoons red onion, diced fine
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 lime zest from 1 lime
2 tablespoons juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon canola oil
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
This is fantastic served over grilled shrimp along with sliced avocado.
Or serve with chips!

I adore mango salsa too, but I agree they are a pain to cut up no matter how you do it. I bought the fancy cutter from Williams Sonoma but its not much help.
I like the addition of the canteloupe in yours. I usually include a hot pepper in mine and a little honey to cut the pepper's heat. Have a great weekend.

This was YUMMYYY!!! I made it yesterday to go with your "Family Recipe BBQ Chicken" for my hubby's birthday get together and it was a huge hit! My husband ate the cantelope so I had to sub in some watermelon instead. It was fantastic!! We also had the strawberries in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar I got from another blog you recommended (Tall Clover Farm) (OMG sooo good too!) so I think I need to thank you for making a birthday event such a success in the food department for our family!
Thank you so much and keep the great recipes coming!
