mango salsa minus the mango


Today Claire and I made some mango salsa. She is following in Jared's foot steps in enjoying being my helper in the kitchen. I have been studying a lot this week and this was such a nice break. I found this recipe this summer online ( I think on a blog). It is very yummy. Claire of course ate as we went, but how can I say no to eating fruit? The sad thing is she doesn't like the end result. I think it is the vinegar that gets her. Well, as I was chopping and chopping, I realized I forgot to buy the Mango for the MANGO salsa. I swear this NEVER happens to me. It's still good, but Claire and I will stop by the store on the way to pick up the boys and buy one mango. I just love to go to the store for just one thing.


Here is the recipe, try it out, Yummy!


1-2 c. cantaloupe diced

1 c. pineapple diced

1 mango diced

1 cucumber diced

1/3 c. green onions

1 garlic clove diced

10 springs of cilantro

1 tsp. lime juice

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. rice vinegar (It calls for 1/2 c., but 1/4 was plenty for me, also I used the white wine vinegar I had on hand and it works)

I'm going to have to make this...it's one way to get David to eat fruit. (Claire looks so pretty in this picture!)
