salsa from Dena



"I thought I’d send this salsa thing I made to serve with Mexican food since your mango recipe reminded me. Just chop and stir.
The salsa thing is, begin with red onion, cilantro, salt, and lime, aka the Pioneer Woman. I think tomato is a basic for her too. Then just add whatever you find in the fridge.

This salad majored in cabbage and cilantro.

Cabbage
Black beans
Mango, the red and the yellow ones
Lime juice
Leftover corn from Sunday
Tomato
jalapeno
Cilantro
Salt
Avocado
Red onion

I haven't tried it yet, but it's right at the top of my to-try list. Basically anything Mexican and cilantro speaks to me and I can't resist! BTW someone told Dena they thought it was a salad; so maybe any way of eating it is perfect.

THIS was REALLY good. Ok. So I couldn't use mangoes because it's not mango season in our village yet. And when I sent the yard man to market to get the cabbage, I forgot to tell him to buy cilantro, also. SO. I had a bare bones salsa but we ate it over white rice and Mexican beans and it was delish! The corn gives it a new twist. I've never thought of adding corn to such. They serve something similar in Mexican restaurants in CA to eat as chip dip. I guess I would term it "salsa" also as opposed to salad, but that's only my opinion...
