| The picture was an afterthought--better ones to come! |
1 cup strawberries, finely diced
1 cup mangos, finely diced (cheat: use a potato peeler to get the skin off without wasting the good stuff!)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
6 basil leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice (cheat: bottled lemon juice)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Optional Add-In: kiwi
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, cover, and allow to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Pair With: low-fat cinnamon graham crackers, cinnamon pita chips, or use as a topping on chicken, burgers, salads
This is the first recipe I found on Pinterest that I actually went ahead and made. Not only is it incredibly easy, but it's especially delicious. It's a party hit and a versatile topping as any salsa could be. (I even used it to top a ranch slider burger, which I will be reviewing in a future post.) The only thing I tweaked in my repeat of this recipe was the quarter-cup increase of both the strawberries and mango, for two reasons: I like an even, easy cup, and I was afraid that the red onion might seem a little overpowering for my particular taste. I have also thrown in a kiwi or two when they were handy. I've doubled and even tripled this recipe for parties and there is never any left!
