Mango Salsa

After a week of waiting for a mango I bought to ripen, it was finally ready to be used for a mango salsa that I've been craving for weeks. This easy condiment is the perfect pairing for a grilled salmon or chicken but is also great on its own with some tortilla chips. 
Mango Salsa: 
1 mango - peeled and diced 
2 beefsteak tomatoes - diced 
1/2 red onion - diced 
1 jalapeno pepper - finely diced 
2 gloves of garlic - minced 
1 tablespoon cilantro - finely chopped 

Mix all ingredients together and let it sit in refrigerator for half an hour before serving. 

For dinner I grilled chicken breasts that I marinaded in the same marinade I used the the fajitas earlier in the week and I served it with the mango salsa to balance out the spicy flavors of the marinade. It was another family meal that seemed to be a success. I don't know how much cooking I will be doing the rest of the weekend but I will be sure to post something everyday, even if it's just an update post. So even though this post was a little shorter than normal, we'll see what the weekend brings, till next time, 
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
