Fruits and Veggies Monday! | Mango Mango Spicy Salsa!
Happy Monday my Fruits and Veggies friends!
Time to celebrate another great week of fresh fruits and vegetables! We’re just back from the market with a new load of Fruits and Vegetables. Mangoes, Avocados and Tomatoes were on my list this week. We planned to join neighbors for the Super Bowl and I knew there would be quite a few less than healthy choices so I thought making a fresh spicy fruit and veggie salsa would be a great idea.
Thank you dear Lena for Fruits and Veggies Monday...
I want to give a big thanks to our great hostess @lenasveganliving for our Fruits and Veggies Monday gathering. We have amazing posts from all over the world and I am always so thrilled to read and learn something new each week! We are also so blessed to have @plantstoplanks step in while our dear Lena recovers from her surgery. Thank you Katie, you have been wonderful!
Should we make some salsa? Let’s go!
Salsa Salsa!
- Fresh Mango (qty 1)
- Avocado (qty 1)
- Red Onion (qty ½)

This salsa is great because you have a little sweet a, little savory and of course a little spice! I think you’ll love it! Grab the fruits and veggies and get ready to do some serious chopping my friends!
Mangos…
I began by dicing the mangoes, onions and tomatoes! A real rainbow of color!
Avocados…
Next the Avocado, pepper, garlic and cilantro!
Into the Bowl...
Now toss everything in your favorite bowl!
Don't forget the Lime!
Yep the Lime Juice, Olive Oil, and Salt!
Now we stir… and refrigerate!
Add your favorite Quinoa Chips and Bon Appetit!
This salsa didn’t last long, in fact I didn’t get to it in time! The good news is... I have more mangoes! Your family will love this salsa; I hope you’ll try it and let me know what you think! Have a great week of fresh fruits and vegetables!
And as always, blessings to you all

Thank you @thesteemengine! I so appreciate being curated along with my fellow TSE passengers :)
Omg, that looks delicious. Certainly, it is my type of dish. Look heavenly, and I am sure it tastes even better. So many amazing ingredients inside. The only thing I would add to it is some legumes for some extra protein and I can play a game on this meal easily.
Thank you for sharing this with us. And, good luck in Lena's competition.
Have an amazing day. :)
Aww, thank you @awakentolife! So glad you stopped by today. I loved making this, a nice change from the usual salsa. I know you would definitely need some protein to play a game on this meal, however it was filling. I certainly could eat this in place of a normal dinner but for you as an athlete, yikes you would need more. You are kind my friend. I hope you have a super week. Blessings to you :)
I am sure you did as it looks amazing, and I am sure it tastes delicious. I will have to try it in the near future. :)
Yep, we do need a little more, but rather in quality than quantity. I would only add some type of legumes to it and bingo for me. And, maybe little more in quantity. heheh
Have a super week to you as well. :)
I made mango salsa when I lived overseas several years ago. It was a nice, fresh treat. Super Bowl is notorious for being unhealthy. Congrats on getting something tasty (and good for you) on the table!
I'm sure your kids would love this too! A great way to serve the healthy veggies too :) You are correct about those superbowl snacks.. I love the appetizers but many of them I take a pass on. Thanks @sumatranate, glad you stopped by today.
First of all, mango salsa is one of my favorites… oh how I miss my mangos, and second of all, I just knew you were going to mix something up fantastic for the Super Bowl. Way to stay on the health train too. Love this salsa sista. I’ll be back to upvote in 5 more minutes 🤓
Do you have mangos close by? Hopefully you'll soon be healthy enough to eat them! Such a nice change from the usual salsas ') Thanks @puravidaville, take care and enjoy paradise!
Oh yeah, there are mangos everywhere here. One day at a time, right? At least I still get to enjoy my green smoothies and now juices.
You know what @birdsinparadise 😉 I'm happy that you missed out the dish 😂😂😂 because I am with you 😆 but I'll see that I never try this kind of salsa before..and if i tried, I'll let you know😉
Thank you @cicisaja! I am so glad to see you. I hope you'll try making this one day, I think you'll like it. I found it is such a nice change from the usual salsas. Definitely tasty :)
Yeap... I wonder how my family react to this kind of salsa if I add basil leaves, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves instead of cilantro too. Uhhmm.. I can imagine the tasty salsa in my mind now
Goodness gracious me, a mango salsa sounds divine, the colours look absolutely gorgeous my friend! You really are amazing!
You are such a sweetie @lizelle, thank you. Hope all is going well in your side of the world and you're not working too hard. Being summer time I'm sure there are quite a few travelers coming your way. Take care :)
Thank you my friend, we're actually having a little breather, only one guest at the moment but many coming next month as the schools break up mid March! It's nice to have a bit of quiet time :) Hope you're keeping well too!
Went to the Melbourne markets on weekend and picked up 3 different sorts of mangoes! Plus, limes and avos, so I think I'll make this tonight with some fried tempeh ...
Yay, I hope you enjoy it! As I mentioned, it didn't last long., lol 3 different types? Wow, I didn't know there were more to choose from. I'll have to pay closer attention when I buy. I'd love to hear how your salsa turned out! Thanks @riverflows! Take care
I bet your salsa was super popular with the neighbors and was gone super fast, my Dear, lol. I would eat most of it myself if I was there; it looks absolutely dreamy a feast for eyes and belly. Beautiful shots too.
And by the way, I passed on the FAVM CONTEST on Katie completely. I made an announcement in my Monday recipe post 🥑🍑🍉🌿🍒🍌🥥🍍🍓
What!!!! How did I miss that in the post...I'll have to re-read this. Aww, this make me sad...will you still be around? (Perhaps you'll be contributing your wonderful dishes for the competition?) :) You are healing okay right????? Thank you for your sweet words, you always inspire all of us dear Lena.
Ohhhh, you didn't see THIS POST my Dear it explains everything, but don't worry, you will understand after you read it . And it's always a pleasure 💖😍💖
It looks very good and sounds very delicious!
Thank you @proanima. You are sweet to stop by today :) This was fun to make and I was happy the guests enjoyed it.
😊
This is all for me, right? Love some fresh salsa. We were definitely in sync with our choices as I brought something really similar to a Super Bowl party last night. I just had chopped cauliflower instead of mango. Always love some classic, fresh combinations that taste irresistible yet make you feel so good!
I know, you could just eat this ipo dinner! You have all of the food groups in one bowl, lol Love cauliflower...the peppery taste is wonderful. Thanks @plantstoplanks. :)
