Mango Salsa

The Champagne of Mangoes….

Posted on April 27, 2021April 27, 2021 by Jen

A Recipe for Mango Salsa.


Every spring I wait patiently for the first appearance of Ataulfo mangoes at the store. As soon as I spy them, I buy a box and start making mango salsa. Ataulfo mangoes are often called Champagne mangoes due to their smooth, velvet like consistency and juicy sweetness. They are grown in volcanic soil in Mexico and are considered by many to be as important to Mexico as Champagne is to the French. Unlike other mangoes, Ataulfo mangoes do not contain interior fibers, making it much easier to cut and slice them. (This is a great, short article on how to slice Ataulfo mangoes).

Thankfully, Ataulfo mangoes are not the most expensive in the world. That prize is reserved for Miyazaki mangoes from Japan, which sell for $5,000 per mango. While, Miyazaki mangoes are rich in price, Ataulfo mangoes are rich in Vitamin C (115% of daily recommendation) and Vitamin A (26% of daily recommendation). I often happen upon these mangoes at my local Costco for a very reasonable price. Best of all, my whole family loves mango salsa and it is a perfect addition to roasted or grilled vegetables tacos. The recipe listed below is how we make our favorite version of mango salsa. Taco night is a staple in my house!

Cuisine American, Mexican
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Ataulfo mangoes peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2/3 cups green onions diced
  • 1 large jalopeno pepper seeds removed and diced
  • 2-4 tbsp lime juice to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove mango skin, cut lengthwise along the core, then cube pieces.*
  • Mix all ingredients together. I like to start with the lower end of the lime juice range and add more after tasting if desired.
  • Store salsa in the refrigerator and let marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. We like to serve our salsa with our favorite roasted or grilled vegetables for taco night and it perfect for scooping up with crunchy tortilla chips!

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
