Mango Margarita

I was trying to think of the perfect drink to complement my Indian dinner last week and immediately thought of the fantastic mango margarita’s I have had at Indian restaurants. I have tried many mango margarita mixes and was always disappointed because they are too sugary, so decided to experiment with my own recipe. I really enjoyed this concoction because it’s not super sweet, and it really tastes like fresh mangos. This will definitely be a staple for summer!

Mango Margaritas

1 Mango, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
12 Ounces Margarita Mix
6 Ounces Tequila

Muddle mango until completely smooth (I cheated and used my mini food processor). Add mango pulp, margarita mix and tequila to shaker with ice and shake until cold. Strain into 2 glasses full of ice and serve with lime wedges.

Mango Salsa

This dish was inspired by my friend Francisca. She made a mango salsa to go with her husband's pork carnita’s and I loved it so much I had to make my own version. Thanks Francisca for the inspiration!

Mango Salsa

2 Mangos, finely diced
½ Red Onion, finely diced
1 Jalapeno Pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 Handful Cilantro, chopped
1 Lime, juiced
½ Teaspoon Salt

Mix all ingredients in small bowl, let sit for an hour or so for flavors to mingle.
