Salsa Vs. Salad
My mother stepped into my apartment this morning, and her face lit up with surprise. "Pasta, what is that colorful thing you're having?" she asked. "That's mango salsa, Dimmi! I love it," Pasta replied with a grin. "You mean a mango-based salad!" Maa said in disbelief. I shook my head and smiled. "No Maa, salsa isn't salad - it's actually a Spanish word for 'sauce'."
Maa just stared at me for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Well then! Let's make some of this delicious mango salsa together." And so we did!
Maa had one last question, "How do you eat Mango Salsa?" I explained that salsa is an interesting mix of vegetables, fruits, chili peppers, and spices - a perfect dip to go along with the wheat crisps.
Kid-friendly Mango Recipe
When the sweet aroma of Mangoes fills the air, and when my little one's eyes light up at the sight of them, I know there's no way I can deny her a portion of this delicious fruit. So I take it upon myself to make her something special - Aam Salsa! Not only is it full of flavor, but it also packs in some extra veggies that she usually refuses to eat - a win-win situation for us both! And every time we enjoy our Nachos with Salsa, we both relish in its deliciousness and rejoice in our victory over picky eating habits.
No fire-cooking - easy mango recipe
Pasta loves to chop ripe mangoes with her kid-friendly knife, although she's still only three and a half. But that doesn't matter when it comes to making the delicious Mango Salsa! I help her out, of course, but this time around I used my own cut mangoes for the recipe. It's so easy to make-even a child can do it-without needing any cooking on an open flame. All you need are some freshly chopped mangoes and a few other ingredients, and you'll have yourself a tasty treat in no time!
Ingredients
Mehebub and I savor our part of the succulent Mango Salsa. A juicy mango sweetness, a jolt of lemon, with crunchy onions and bell peppers all come together to create an exquisite dish. The addition of both red and green bell peppers pleases Pasta's eyes as much as her taste buds! Onions are optional, but they add an extra pop to my homemade Mango Salsa that we just can't get enough of.
