Using my fresh Cilantro

Two recipes I love right now.  Thanks to my friend Meg for sharing them with me.
 

Mango salsa 

I always wing it on the amounts…. but here are the ingredients: 

Diced mangoes

White or Red onion (small diced)

Cilantro­

Fresh lime juice

Fresh lemon juice

Hot sauce (like Tabasco) – little to taste

Salt/pepper as needed

 

Super simple but very tasty!
