MAGGIE: Mango Salsa

[Guest guest]

Hi Maggie -

So, please tell us - how did you make the mango salsa?

Was that your carb, or was it just a couple of Tbsp of salsa, and you had a

separate carb too?

I just threw together a diced up mango, one jalapeno pepper (diced

very finely), a clove of garlic (diced very finely), two slices of

red onion (also diced up). I also put in some dried cilantro,

although fresh would have been even better. Also a little lemon

juice and a little salt. I let it sit out on the counter for an hour

or so (I think the flavors meld a little better outside of the

fridge).

My husband didn't think it was hot enough, but his homemade tomato

salsa is so hot that I can't even eat it. It was perfect for me. I

had a grilled chicken breast with it, maybe 1/4 cup of the salsa,

and maybe 1/2 cup brown rice, along with some steamed broccoli for

my meal.

My husband and I went on our honeymoon last summer to central

Mexico, where we had the most amazing salsas. We took a cooking

class where we learned to make a great tomatillo salsa that is

simply amazing and has very few calories. I'll post it in a separate

post.

Thanks Maggie -

I stay away from Jalapeno because spice seems to aggravate my rosacea.

I think the salsas are a wonderful accompaniment for this way of eating.

If you have any books or websites to recommend, please do so.

Thanks
