Mango Salsa

I was inspired by a few ripe mangoes sitting in my fruit bowl to come up with a salsa using just the ingredients I had in the house (since our car is broken and we can’t get to the store).  This is what I created and I wasn’t the least bit disappointed.  In fact, even if I could have, I wouldn’t add a single thing.

We used this salsa on top of some shredded chicken tacos (again, because that’s what we already had on hand) and it worked well, but I think I’d like it even more over grilled fish.  Really, fish, chicken or pork, I think all would make worthy meats to top with this concoction.  I love the freshness pairing of the mangoes, mint and lime together and the bit of heat that the jalapeno offers.  Yum.  Can’t wait to make this again and again.
