Mango Salsa



Favored condiment of cavemen everywhere.

2 ripe mangoes*
1 smallish fresh pineapple* , cut up (or 1 can pineapple tidbits, in a pinch)
1 handfull of cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
dash salt
sprinkle of dried chipotle pepper

1. Split, score, and dice mangoes. (If you use mangoes often, I recommend using a mango splitter.)
2. Core, peel, and cut pineapple into chunks.
3. Toss in bowl with lime juice and cilantro.
4. Add remaining 3 ingredients to taste. (Use only enough chipotle to give salsa a slight bite, not to overpower the fruit.)
5. Refrigerate at least three hours, preferrably overnight.

*It really is worth the trouble to use fresh fruit instead of canned or frozen. It's not that difficult to work with if you use the right technique.

Mango Salsa

(not just for cavemen)

2 Mangoes
1 can of pineapple tidbits or 2 cups diced pineapple
1 small red onion, chopped (green onion is good, too)
1 handfull cilantro, chopped
2-3 jalapeno peppers, chopped (remove seeds and membranes for less heat or use red bell pepper for a really mild salsa)
2 Tbsp lime juice

Mix everything together; let marinate for at least an hour before serving. (It's even better the next day.)
