Welcome to My Blog!

If you're visiting for the first time, be sure and read my "Welcome to My Blog" post in February. It's the first one and it explains why I started doing this. So far it's been a lot of fun; it kind of feels like a diary.

Mango Blueberry Salsa

I was going to make my Mango Avocado Salsa but I couldn't find a ripe avocado and I had mangoes ready to be used.  So, I decided to substitute blueberries for the avocado.  Mom has a freezer full of blueberries (that she picks herself) so I've been using them while we're here in Florida.  Thanks mom!  I really like the salsa with the blueberries and it looks better too.

Serve the salsa with "scoop" style tortilla chips cause the blueberries don't stay on the flat chips (as I found out).

2 mangoes, peeled and diced
1 cup fresh (or in my case, frozen) blueberries
3 T. chopped fresh cilantro
2 T. fresh lime juice
1/2 red pepper, finely diced
1 T. pickled jalapeno, finely diced
2-3 T. red onion, finely diced

Combine ingredients and season with salt.  Be careful with the salt if you are using salted chips.  The ingredients don't need to be exact measurements; salsa is very forgiving.  This is also good with grilled chicken and pork tenderloin.
