Creating this Recipe for Strawberry Mango Salsa

I know I just shared a salsa recipe last week with this Creamy Cucumber Salsa, but I have another delicious summer salsa for you to try. This time something a little sweeter.

My friend Becca and I were experimenting with some fruit salsas last week after discussing summer recipes that we wanted to try (and getting hungrier and hungrier by the minute!).

One of the recipes that we came up, and spent the better part of an afternoon testing, was this Strawberry Mango Salsa.

It turned out so good I had to share it. Now, if you haven’t every had a fruit salsa before, you might be thinking: fruit??? and salsa??? 

But just trust me on this one.

What I Love About this Easy Recipe for Sweet Salsa

The juicy strawberries and mangos pair really well with the heat of the jalapeño, hint of lime, onion and cilantro.

At first we even thought we would try fresh mint to keep it more sweet themed but we tested that version and it wasn’t as good as with the cilantro.

We whipped up a few Easy (read: cheater) Cinnamon Sugar Chips to go with the salsa for dipping purposes.

You can easily buy cinnamon sugar pita chips at your local grocery store. However, if you happen to have flour tortillas on hand Easy Cinnamon Sugar Chips only take a couple minutes and are the perfect vehicle for getting this delicious Strawberry Mango Salsa into your mouth.
