Yummo! What an easy way to add a bit of pizzazz to a meal. I recently caught up with a friend for a picnic – we took a little BBQ & made Mexican – there was mince, rice, salsa, guacamole & salad.
It got me thinking about some salsa recipes I have, why wasn’t I using them more often? You will be glad to know, this has now been remedied as they have been dug out & are ready for some summer loving at BBQs, Mexican nights, or even with beans & tuna to make an easy lunchtime salad – these little multitaskers are going to spruce up a few meals over the coming months.
I’ve listed the ones I have on high rotation. Just combine in a bowl, let sit for 10minutes & voila!
All-purpose salsa
390g can corn kernels, well drained – even better use fresh corn
1 large, or 2 small firm ripe avocados, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
½ small red onion, finely diced
½ bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 chilli, seeded and finely diced
Juice 1 lime or ½ lemon, to taste
Mango salsa
This seemed to come out often for Christmas & it was always a big hit (great with ham, chicken or fish).
1 large mango, cut & cubed
3 green shallots, finely sliced
1 tbspn fresh lime juice
1tbspn chopped fresh mint leaves
A splash of olive oil
Paw-Paw Salsa
Again, delish with fish, chicken or ham.
1 pawpaw, diced
½ red capsicum, finely diced
½ chilli, finely chopped
½ red onion, finely chopped
4 sprigs mint, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced
A splash of olive oil
Strawberry salsa
Sounds weird, but great with BBQ meats (think steaks & snags)
1 punnet of strawberries, diced
1 lime or lemon, juiced
2 tspn chillies, finely chopped
4 spring onions, finely chopped
¼ tspn ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
Experiment & add whatever you like to them (add capsicum, coriander or basil, leave out the chilli) or adjust quantities (more tomato & less corn). Whatever you do, it is a fun way to get in more of the good stuff into your diet!
