Mango Salsa

July 2, 2014

White Pirie MangoOur mango tree (White Pirie) provides us with the sweetest fruit imaginable.  These little, nondescript mangoes are a revelation to those who are not familiar with this particular variety.  I have to give credit to my mom who told me how delicious this mango is, and, that I should plant a White Pirie tree in my yard.  Now, more than 25 years later, this tree is the crown jewel of our garden.

Blackened Ahi with Mango  Salsa

This is a quick salsa that is particularly good with grilled fish. It goes especially well with Cajun style blackened fish: it’s really the perfect summer meal.

Mango Salsa During the summer months when mangoes are in season, there are a number of ways I like to use them. Sorbet, jam, pickled and occasionally a nice mango crisp for dessert.  This salsa recipe is one of the most delicious ways to enjoy this fruit.

Mango Salsa

2 generous servings

Ingredients

1 cup diced, sweet mango (ripe but not too soft)

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon finely chopped Maui onion

jalapeño to taste (I like to use our nacho jalapeños but feel free to use fresh jalapeños)

juice of 1/2 lime

Preparation

Combine mango, cilantro, onion and jalapeño in a medium bowl.  Squeeze lime juice over and toss very gently to combine ingredients.  Refrigerate until well chilled.  Serve over fresh, grilled fish or chicken.

*Salsa is best made within a couple of hours before serving.
