I’m a big guacamole lover, so I welcome the avocado in this salsa for adding the “guac factor” and for being another method of softening the heat. Of course, avocado is not often included in salsa recipes, but I love it when it is. The other ingredients are mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime, and salt. I don’t find them particularly sweet and I’m not crazy about their texture (this is my ongoing issue with berries in general), but they work really well in this recipe. I’m one of those weird people who is not normally a big fan of strawberries (well, unless they’re in daiquiris!). Now I want chili!īut let’s get back to this Strawberry Mango Summer Salsa, shall we? I think this salsa recipe is much better suited to today’s weather, and to summer entertaining in general. For this reason, I’ve also been known to add a bit of the sweet to spicy pots of chili. The sweetness not only helps subdue the heat some, it also complements the heat factor so nicely. Admittedly, that has a lot to do with the fact that I have a sweet tooth, but it’s also because I can’t tolerate too much heat and the sweet nicely tempers the heat. The combination of “sweet” and “heat” has always been an unbeatable one to me. And now this Strawberry Mango Summer Salsa. The other exception is a good salsa that includes fruit … peach salsa, mango salsa, pineapple salsa.

(You might remember her Homemade Sangria and Green Chile Chicken Casserole recipes.) Tavie’s homemade salsa is truly to die for especially when served with her homemade tortilla chips. Tavie is from New Mexico and she excels in all dishes with a Mexican flair. One exception is my friend Tavie’s homemade salsa. While I use salsa a lot in savory recipes because I love the flavor and body it adds to recipes, I don’t often eat salsa as intended-on its own, usually with tortilla chips. Today’s Strawberry Mango Summer Salsa recipe definitely meets my requirements for really tasty salsa. For affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
