Strawberry season is in full bloom and I just can’t enough of them! If you are watching the ads carefully you can get a pound of strawberries for anywhere from .99-$1.25 a pound. Our family has loved throwing them in smoothies, topping our desserts with them, putting them in salads, eating them with yogurt and cereal in the morning, or just eating them plain by the handful. Strawberries are definitely one of my favorite fruits. They are not only delicious and sweet but they are so cute to look at! I love their deep, dark red color and how beautiful they look in many of my favorite recipes. This Strawberry Mango salsa is no exception. I know it sounds strange, but this salsa is super fresh, tangy and has that sweet/spicy flavor that I love so much. Serve this salsa with regular tortilla chips or you could make cinnamon chips (by buttering a tortilla, sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar, cutting into triangles and then baking until light golden brown). This salsa makes for a great appetizer or a fun side dish to any summer parties or dinner’s this year. Enjoy 🙂
