Summer Salsa

Summer salsa is one of my favorites during the hot season. This versatile salsa can be eaten by itself with fresh corn chips and guacamole, or as a topper for beef or fish  tacos. Many times summer salsa is regulated by the various fruits available, but my favorite is when you add a fresh mango to the mix of tomatoes and onions and peppers that make ones mouth water for the hot weather. This goes best with a beverage like a tart lemonade or strawberry daiquiri.

This combination of fresh ingredients is one of the easiest recipes to follow and the list is not too long. Here are the ingredients and directions for summer salsa. The guests will ask for the recipe every time. This is one of the "go to" meals that is always a winner. Here is hoping you have the same success I do every summer. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1.5 or 2 medium ripe tomatoes diced with all the juice and seeds included
1 medium yellow onion (Maui) diced small
1/2 mango, diced; add a teaspoon of sugar to the meat if it is not too sweet.
1 or two long pickled Serrano peppers diced, the more you use the hotter it becomes
1 whole lemon, squeezed, be careful of the seeds
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together without bruising the fruit and vegetables.
Refrigerate the salsa until chilled and the flavors marry.
Eat with freshly warmed corn chips or as a topper for tacos
Either way, you will enjoy this meal with friends and family for years to come.
