The Best of Spring Day 1.

In celebration of Spring and a gorgeous sunny 65 degree afternoon, I decided to make some Mango Salsa with some ingredients I had laying around. This is a pretty standard recipe, but I'll list all the ingredients anyways.


Chop all of this stuff up, throw it in a bowl, and let all the flavours combine for an hour or two in the fridge:
2 Mangoes (peel it first!)
2 Avocados (scoop & chop)
1 English Cucumber (take the seeds out if they're big)
1 Tomato (maybe 2, I only had 1 left)
1 Poblano Pepper
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
2 Chipotle Peppers (for heat instead of jalapeno since the Poblano was a dud)
1 Handful Chopped Cilantro
Juice of 1 Lime squeezed fresh
A splash or 2 of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
A Pinch of Sea Salt

This makes enough to feed a group of 8+ as an appetizer.

After mowing the lawn with the reel mower it was nice to take a break with some tortilla chips, this mango salsa, and an ice cold beer.

Happy Spring!
