King of the Fruits

“You can’t have-a the Mango.”
 

Maybe you can't have that one, but you can have have this one.


Mangos, sometimes referred to as “king of the fruits” were said to be a favorite of the Buddha and the  tree purportedly granted wishes to those who asked.  I don’t have a mango grove to meditate, or petition wishes in, but I’m still going to whisper my secret wishes into my  fiery mango salsa and hope that Buddha has his ears peeled.

Mango Salsa:

2 medium mangoes, fresh, ripe, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 Tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
2 TBS. lime juice

Combine all ingredients and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and chill before serving.

Serve with tortilla chips or atop a shrimp taco. Yum!
