Mango Monday

Know how I know it's Spring? In the past two weeks, seven, yes seven, people have asked for my mango salsa recipe. Once the weather warms up, I make this concoction constantly and put it on everything. You should, too.

Since it's gorgeous outside, head to your farmer's market to score local goodies and get some fresh air. And since they say Spring is the best time to get twitterpated, why not flirt with that cutie selling the freshly baked buns?

You're gonna need:
1 large ripe mango
1/2 medium red onion
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 8 oz can of pineapple tidbits
1 lime
fresh cilantro
salt to taste

And a copy of Whipped Cream and Other Delights. On vinyl. Must be on vinyl.


Let Herb and the TJB unleash your groove thang. Dance while you dice. It's crucial and adds flavor, I swear.

Peel the mango and chop into small dice. It helps to dice in time to the music. Place mango in bowl. Chop up those red & yellow peppers, and let them get jiggy with the mango. Drain the pineapple tidbits. You may want to chop some of the larger bits in half, depending on how much size matters to you. (Does size really matter?) Let those bits percolate in your mango mix while you samba through the kitchen.

Chop up half of a red onion, and invite it to the party in your bowl. Let the onion mingle and make new friends. Cut your lime in half and squeeze to make it rain over the top of your mango medley. Chop up your cilantro and sprinkle into the goodness. Salt it up to your liking.  Mix it all together lightly. You don't want to bruise your bits. 

Let the salsa chillax in your fridge till you're ready to have a mouth-gasm.

NOM!
