Happy Saturday everyone! Before you jump into your amazing weekend plans, Cinco de Mayo is coming up next week! What are you going to make? First off, how about something easy, simple, and delicious? Like a Grilled Corn and Bell Pepper Mango Salsa?? 😉
Everyone loves a good mango salsa, am I right? You know what they say about Mango, fruit of Gods! I happen to agree. I could eat mango every day and would never complain. Whoever thought to make it into a salsa was a genius. I've added some grilled corn on the cob and bell pepper to give it just a little more flavor and pizazz.
Now sadly, as amazingly delicious as a perfectly ripe, juicy mango can taste, once it's gone bad it is literally one of the worst tasting things you can eat. It took me years to work up the nerve to eat mango again after my first bite was of a rotten one, but now it's my all time favorite fruit!. SO when you're choosing your mango at the store, make sure not to buy an overly ripe or it'll go bad and sad before you have a chance to enjoy it.
Ok everyone. If you've got about 15 minutes of spare time this Cinco de Mayo, throw this simple, tasty Grilled Corn and Red Pepper Mango Salsa together and dig in with your favorite tortilla chip or even serve over your entree!

I love what red onion does a salsa. Like a subtle spice that also has a fresh crunch. Mmmmmm salsa
