It's finally NOT 95 degrees out thank goodness! Luca and I had grocery shopped this week with the plan not to cook this week, since it has been so hot. But, even though it is cool out today, I still got to enjoy the mango salsa out of the Moosewood Cookbook that we prepared yesterday.
These are the ingredients:
2 ripe mangoes, cut into tiny pieces
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
1 tomato, diced
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste
1 hot pepper, cut into tiny pieces (I used 2 because I can barely taste the hotness of 1)
1-2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl and eat with chips, or as a garnish to some other dish. Fish maybe would be good? It keeps in the fridge for a couple of days too, after which point I usually eat it by the spoonful directly out of the bowl. Even Boo liked the tiny piece of mango I gave her this afternoon. I'm only giving her a little though, since I want the rest for myself!
The chopping is kind of annoying, but that's what husbands are for, anyway!
1 Pearls of Wisdom:
I probably shouldn't have to tell you this, but I think you should invest in a slap chop. It's just fun to say and the guy who sells it got beat up by a hooker.
You can't lose!
