…I thought it would be something I could dip in to.
BOOM! Another Friday, another pun.
The weekend is upon us, I’m off to visit the in-laws for a BBQ by the river and some canoeing, getting Archie out in a boat for the first time – can’t wait!
So following on from last week’s popular guacamole recipe – thanks to those who shared their efforts, nice job – this week I’ve got salsa with a twist, packed with healthy fats, fibre and antioxidants.
Usually we see salsa (and guac) as the perfect dip for crisps, however I’m going to suggest a few other uses which you could try out this weekend, saving yourself from that “sharer” bag of Doritos.
- Cook some fish, chicken or burgers on the BBQ (wrapped in foil), then top with the salsa
- Sub out the crisps for some vegetable sticks. Sounds like a poor substitute I know, but your brain registers the crunch of raw veggies and kills the cravings
- Leftovers? Use it as a filling for an omelette the next morning
- Sub out the seafood sauce for salsa and you’ve got a fresh take on a prawn cocktail
Hope that gives you some good ideas. Here’s the recipe…
Ingredients
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 150g cup red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño or chilli pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 50g coriander, finely chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Toss the mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice together bowl
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Cover and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving
