Mango Salsa

As a thank you for our last project, one of the analysts that I work with gifted me his fruit of the month club (he's a dreamboat). Three perfectly ripe honey mangoes sat on my desk for almost a week. I considered the margarita, the mojito, and even the daiquiri... I stared at them without a clue until I decided to grill pork chops last weekend. Pork chops and applesauce, you have been schooled by pork chops and mango salsa! Consider yourself on notice (Mr. Smith agrees).


Mango Salsa
3 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced (add more depending on how much heat you like)
juice of 2 limes

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Serve along side grilled meats or with chips as a dip.

Hey Lady,
I enjoy the background of Mr. Smith's gaping mouth. Last week I made the chunky monkey cookies, only with chocolate frosting and a drop of vanilla extract and they were f-ing delish, esp dunked in cold milk. And currently I'm waiting for my pound cake to bake with blueberries from my parent's backyard. Will let you know how that goes next weekend :)
