2 Minute Mango Fruit Salsa

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Del Monte, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #makemangosalsa http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Salsa is definitely a family favorite snack and ingredient for meals. This past summer, with all of our fresh tomatoes, Troy and I canned about 30-40 jars of salsa. We have been enjoying it during the fall and winter. We use it in cooking and for a snack of chips and salsa.

For my dad's birthday this past November, we went up north to my parent's farm for a hunting weekend. My siblings and I were each assigned to bring different things (salads, snacks, etc.). My brother brought something that I had not seen before: Del Monte diced mangoes. These mangoes come in a can and can be made into a delicious salsa.


I love mango but they can definitely be a pain to cut, especially into nice little diced chunks. With these mangoes, we can make a healthy fruit salsa in just a couple of minutes. My brother added lots of onion and spice to his mango salsa and it was a hit.

We also had leftover salsa which my dad creatively made into a breakfast soup which he served my mom and I on my birthday a few days later. It was very good.

For the upcoming Super Bowl Sunday, you can pick up a can of these mangoes and make them into your own salsa. My family loves food and the Super Bowl is the perfect time to make a bunch of food and enjoy spending time together while watching the game. This would make a great addition to the party because fruit salsa seems a lot more fancy and unusual than typical salsa.

My baby loves watching football which is so funny because Troy and I barely watch it. She has watched it with 2 of her grandpas and cannot stop staring- must be all the moving around and colors. If your kids are a bit older, they may be bored with the game and you can throw on a DVD for them such as the new "The Book of Life" DVD which will be available at Walmart on 1/27.

This salsa is great because it is tasty and only takes about 2 minutes to make! How easy is that?


2 Minute Mango Fruit Salsa

Ingredients:
1 can drained Del Monte diced mangoes
24 oz salsa of choice
1/2 diced large sweet onion
1/2 diced green pepper

Directions: Mix all ingredients together and serve. Serves well with tortilla chips, in a quesadilla, on top of chicken, made into a soup, etc.


Yum! This salsa is delicious. For my recipe, I used Pace medium salsa since I like the chunky texture and spice. I purchased both the mangoes and salsa from Walmart.


If you want to try these Del Monte mangoes, visit the sampling event going on at select stores from 1/22-1/25.
