Salsa is used to describe a wide family of fresh or cooked salad-like relishes most of the times flavoured with herbs or chillis.
Salsa evolved in Mexico and the spiciness factor can vary from mild to very very hot!
They taste good when served immediately but taste even better when allowed to marinate for a couple of hours.
Mangoes being in season where I live, this salsa has mangoes predominantly. The fragrant, sweet and the sourness of the ingredients was spectacular with chicken.
For the Mango & Tomato salsa
1 mango (ripe, firm, cubed)
1 Tomato (large, chopped)
1 Onion (chopped)
3 to 4 Garlic (crushed)
2 to 3 Green Chillies (chopped) (Ideally use red chillies.)
Lemon Juice from 1 lemon
1 tbsp of dried herbs
2 tsp Honey (You could also use sugar)
Salt
Give a good mix to all the above and chill well before serving.
Alternatively, you could also add lemon zest and mint leaves for that extra zing!
This salsa is off to the A.W.E.D event.
