Mango Peach Summer Salad or Salsa

My good friend Vicki made a fabulous mango peach salad and brought it to a Friday night dinner at my home. She usually brings guacamole, but she wanted to change things up a bit.

When Vicki first mentioned a mango type salsa , I was somewhat disappointed because we all love her chunky guacamole that she usually brings. However it turned out, we didn't miss the guacamole one bit because this salad/ salsa was just as amazing. Featuring ripe summer produce at it's peak ( mango, peaches, tomatoes), it was healthy and flavorful.

Vicki used fresh sweet mango and seasonal summer peaches with some Vadalia onion , tomato, fresh lime juice and cilantro. It sounded like a strange combination to me, but the flavors all blended beautifully and the salsa made a wonderful appetizer accompanied by some organic corn chips . I thought it was excellent the way it was but you could add some chopped jalapeño peppers or some diced avocado.

Another good friend Laura, who is a master entertainer, taught me to use appetizers that don't need to be heated. This frees up the host's time in the kitchen when serving hungry guests. Laura- I hope this appetizer/salad works for you!!

There was not a morsel of this tasty dish left over when I asked Vicki for the recipe.
