Salsa

I just finished making some mango salsa. For such a flavorful snack it’s really too easy. I would like to head towards perfecting my salsa, but for now, purchasing and chopping is seriously doing the trick.

I dip into it, I put it on toast, I put it in eggs and sometimes I just go spoon. It’s so versatile! I made some pineapple salsa with Sammy and Jay once, and again a few weeks ago. What’s next? Starfruit or papaya, maybe?

Some things I’d like to work on:

  • the proper ratio
  • getting it to be a little mushy without using tomatoes
  • combining more fruits somehow
  • introducing smaller but stronger spices (except cilantro, I tried that)

Salsa has really been my absolute solution for getting more fruits and vegetables into my diet.

How about a recipe, asshole? It should be a bannable offense to talk about how good something you made is on this website without including a recipe.

Yum, yum, yum! This sounds delicious. And I agree, salsa is amazing on so many things. Try peaches!

Hahaha, well that’s just it. It’s not much of a recipe.


  • 1 onion
  • 2 red peppers
  • 2 green peppers
  • 2 mangos (should have been 3, maybe even 4)
  1. Chop everything.
  2. Mix in bowl with hands.
  3. Do nothing else.
  4. Don’t tell Hutch the recipe.


    Fuck, I should at least throw some cayenne in there, huh? This batch definitely tastes “planty”.

Needs salt, maybe pepper, maybe sugar, maybe chives, maybe parsley, definitely cilantro.

Careful with the salt, though, as it may leach out water and make your salsa too watery.
