This past weekend, at a 3rd of July party, I found myself in the kitchen with some extraneous produce: avocados, mangos, tomatoes, a few ears of corn. What happened next? Salsa.
3rd of July Salsa
2 champagne or honey mangos
2 ripe but firm avocados
2 medium tomatoes
2 ears of sweet corn
juice of one lime
white wine vinegar
salt (non-iodized)
Cut the flesh of the mangos and avocados into pieces about as big as a kernel of corn. Slice the tomatoes into slightly larger pieces, removing and discarding the seeds as you go. Cut corn off the cob. Combine in a mixing bowl and mix well. Add the juice of one lime, mixing gently to combine. Taste and correct the seasoning with salt and white wine vinegar. Serve immediately as a side for grilled chicken or fish, on fresh tacos, or with tortilla chips.
