Mango Salsa
Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I AM READY FOR FALL. I unapologetically wish away the summer for cool autumn days, and I skip right over Thanksgiving in preparation for all things Christmas. This is me, take it or leave it! BUT I really wanted to squeeze in one more summer recipe before the soups, stews, and warm winter bowl dishes start showing up.
Cue: my favorite ever, fruity, spicy, refreshing mango salsa! If you read my post for my Simple Summer Salsa then you know that-that recipe was inspired by my dad. This recipe, however, is all about my mama. I’m not sure when she first made a similar salsa but I do remember how much I loved it as soon as it hit my taste buds!
My mom is the strongest woman I know. She is a smart, funny, wine-loving, golf playing, badass. And while I wouldn’t describe her as someone who loves to cook, she’s got a few recipes up her sleeve that are noteworthy, to say the least. This salsa recipe is one of them! In my pre-plant based days I could take down a half dozen of her deviled eggs no problem! But since ditching eggs, I now replace them with roasted cauliflower that’s been chilled and use all the same ingredients-vegan mayo, mustard, paprika, etc. It’s those key flavors that give me all the tasty nostalgia of "egg salad" or her amazing deviled eggs!
With just a few easy ingredients this salsa comes together really quickly. PLUS no machines necessary. Just chop, dump, and stir.
Dip your chips right in, OR OR OR: add to tacos, quesadillas, burgers, salads, tacos, enchiladas, did I mention tacos?
Here I’ve paired it perfectly with chorizo and roasted potato tacos, with the addition of a quick cabbage slaw. PERFECTION.
This stuff is addicting! And the whole recipe makes about 7 cups or so-so it’s perfect for your Labor Day BBQ plans, end of summer parties, and back to school bashes!
