Yesterday I talked about a mango replacing chocolate cake. While that may be stretch for some, I encourage you to try it, and work on replacing a whole food filled with sweetness, instead of inhaling that chocolate whatever: cake, candy, cookie laced with refined sugars and oils you don’t want to enter your body. Consider this, how do you feel after you eat a mango, versus a chocolate bar after a couple of hours?
Fresh Mango Salsa
- 3 cups diced fresh Mango (or Papaya, or Peaches)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 to 4 green onions, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 1 to 2 limes, juiced
- dash extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Herbamare or sea salt
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors mingle. Serve over mixed greens, beans and rice, or grilled fish. Source: www.NourishingMeals.com
