I regularly read other food blogs to get new recipe ideas and to admire people's talents. One such blog is the Mango & Tomato blog by Olga, where I found this delicious looking recipe for a Mango, Tomato, & Avocado Salsa that she created. I tried it out one day when my friend Kathleen came over for a visit. I doubled the original recipe and modified the proportions ever so slightly to avoid having leftover ingredients, and since what I had on hand were bite-size tortilla chips, I also chopped everything more finely than Olga had suggested. The result is a definite must-try and it's super easy to make to boot! The two of us devoured ALL the salsa I made (yes, after doubling the recipe)! It's the perfect summer treat and tastes just as good as it looks/sounds! MANGO, TOMATO, & AVOCADO SALSA
Ingredients:
1 mango, diced
1 pint grape tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoon white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
salt & pepper to taste
jalapenos (optional)
Directions
Mix all ingredients. Serve. (Yep, it's that easy.)
Additional hint from Olga: Add a little sugar if your mango is not completely ripe.
Yum!
If you need instructions on how to cut a mango, here is an excellent video I found on YouTube:

I love to eat! I have always loved dining out, and recently I've discovered a love for cooking, too! Now I don't claim to be a food connoisseur or an experienced chef, but I decided to start this blog - which was inspired by similar blogs written by friends of mine - as a way to share my adventures as a cook (i.e., share my favorite recipes) and as a foodie (i.e., share my impressions on various restaurants), and hopefully learn from others in the process. As such, please feel free to comment or direct me to new recipes you think I might enjoy! :)
