Salsa for Halloween!
Posted by Sprouts Staff
It’s that time of year again. The air is getting cool (or so we hope here in Florida) and the ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and mummies are ready to come out to play. The party is just about at your door and you need something to give them that won’t break your wallet. The question is what do you feed this monstrous crew when they come to your door? Well, if you are throwing a party and need some thing to feed the fiends (friends) we’ve got a tip for you.
Take a trip down to your local farmer’s market. There you can find incredible bargains on everything from fruits to vegetables, nuts to fresh meats!
If you are looking for something specific to feed your guests we’ve got a recipe that will go a long way for little cost. Hearty Mango Salsa can make a delicious and healthy snack or be part of a full fledged meal. This salsa tastes great on tortilla chips or served over rice (we recommend jasmine rice) and serves as a side to fish or chicken.
By purchasing all the ingredients at the local farmer’s market you’ll save money and help support your local community’s farms. To find the market closest to you please visit:
Hearty Mango Salsa
One large ripe mango
Two medium sized avocados
One small onion
Five cloves of garlic
One tablespoon fresh cilantro
Half a teaspoon salt
Four medium sized ripe tomatoes
One fresh ripe lime
One tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Cut up the mango, tomatoes, and avocados into bite sized pieces and place in a large salad bowel. Next, finely chop the onion and the garlic and add it to the mixture. Then sprinkle the cilantro, salt, and oil (if applicable) over top and stir. Cut the lime in half and squeeze one half into the mix and stir again.
Serve either in a bowl with tortilla chips on the side or over rice.
Enjoy the salsa!
