Avocados and Mango Salsa!

Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA) has created The Big Hit contest and website where consumers can post and check out yummy avocado recipes.  On September 1^st Avocado League participants will be announce and public voting for their recipes will begin in late September.

Now I am not creative when it comes to cooking, I am getting there but whenever avocados are in season we always have them around.  Now many people think that avocados are just for guacamole, which is what I mainly use them for, but they are also good on sandwiches, wraps, salads, and so much more!  I was actually amazed at some of the recipes posted on The Big Hit as one lady from Chicago posted a recipe for Chicago Style Avocado Chicken Pizza, which sounds awesome!

I also want to add that Avocados have some great health benefits:

–       50 calories per ounce (around 3 slices)

–       Sodium and cholesterol free

–       Includes nearly 20 different types of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in one serving

My Recipe for Mango Salsa

–       Avocados

–       Diced Fresh Mango

–       Tomatoes (optional)

–       Lime Juice

–       Salt

–       Cilantro

–       Jalepeno peppers (optional)

–       Onions

Now I didn’t include measurements because it depends on what I have and how I want it to taste, sometimes I like more avocados, other times I would rather taste the mango.  I start with a little of each and work my way up until it tastes how I want it to!
