Mango Salsa

Mango Salsa

I especially love this dish with Fish Tacos. Just Grill your favorite fish, steam a corn tortilla, add some shredded cabbage, a slice of avocado,  a squeeze of lime and this salsa! A vegan alternative would be just to leave out the fish. You can add some grilled veggies instead!

1 Mango diced
1/4 small red onion diced
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 t salt
1/4 pepper
2 small red serrano peppers diced
1/2 c cilantro chopped

Combine all ingredients, let set for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle! Enjoy! Happy Cooking!
