I’m home in Kansas, and the trip thus far has been so full of pure and simple goodness that I wish I could wrap it up and tuck it in my pocket. But I can’t, so instead, I’m stuffing myself silly with giant salads, inventing reasons to run to Target, and grabbing every single opportunity to sit at the kitchen counter with my sisters and hash out the difficulties of high school and first jobs.
My heart is very full.
Next up, I head to Virginia for even more family fun, good food, and sunsets over the water with Frank’s family before heading to the beach for a week. I’ve spent some quality time these past few weeks pinning recipes for the beach vacation (baked tacos for a crowd? genius).
But let’s be honest, I’ll probably do little more than slice up some stuff for the grill or make a giant bowl of salsa so that we have an excuse to eat tortilla chips for dinner. This one’s a favorite – creamy avocados were made for sweet mangos, and any sort of salsa is made for sweet, sweet beach vacations on U.S. soil.
Sweet and Spicy Mango-Avocado Salsa
Ingredients
- 2 mangos, peeled and chopped
- 2 avocados, peeled and chopped
- 1 scallion (green onion), thinly sliced
- juice squeezed from 1 lime
- 1 Thai bird's eye chili, thinly sliced (or substitute jalapeno pepper - adjust this to your preferred spice - bird's eye chilis are very spicy)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Serve with tortilla chips.
I love mango and this is such a pretty and summer-y salsa Jess. Enjoy your trip to Virginia.
Glad you are having a great trip home. I could not function without Target!
So glad you are having a great time at home!!
Looks delicious and perfect. I love tortilla chips for dinner!
This salsa sounds just perfect for summer! Enjoy every minute of your trip Jess!
I love this salsa. Looks like summer
I love both avocado and mango but have never put them in the same dish. I am going to trust your dish and do that soon. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your visits and vacation.
