Strawberry and Mango Salsa for Cinco de Mayo

Strawberry and Mango Salsa –  If you’re looking for a different salsa to serve up this Summer or for Cinco De Mayo try this. It has mangos and strawberries plus all your favorite other salsa ingredients added to it. 

Next week is Cinco de Mayo already. I remember at my old job, we would always have a salsa contest on that day. People could bring in their own homemade salsas for taste testing and everybody who tried it could vote on their favorites. I never won that contest at all, and it was always the same guy winning with his salsa every year. Every YEAR. He would bring the same one every time. Pretty sure this Strawberry and Mango salsa would blow his recipe out of the water! They had different categories of salsas and those categories ranged from mild to spicy, and fruity salsas.

Fruit salsas are my favorite. They’re super yummy inside quesadillas or on top of some grilled fish and chicken. Salsas are super simple to make and requires a lot of chopping and dicing. Pretty much any type of fruit or veggie can be made into a salsa. The only types of veggies I wouldn’t use are squash and potatoes.

If you have basic knowledge of how to use a knife then this will be a breeze for you! The mango might be a little bit tough to cut for some people. There is a huge pit in the middle of the mango and I like to set it side up on a cutting board. Then I’ll cut around the pit and cut the skin and fruit together. Once I get all the sides cut off I’ll run my knife and cut around the whole mango.I’ll take one cut wedge and make smaller cuts inside the mango so all I have to do is scoop them out with a spoon. If you have a better way to cut a mango, please let me know in the comments below!
