Salsa from a jar is fine when time is tight, but when you can make something that tastes so delightfully light, bright, and fresh, why wouldn’t you? Sweet, succulent mango pairs beautifully with crisp cucumber, and with a few simple ingredients, this Mango Cucumber Salsa comes together easily. Aside from taste, mango is an abundant source of goodness for your health. Studies show that mangos are one of the super-anti-cancer foods. Mangos also promote good eyesight, clear skin, and can help lower cholesterol. As if you needed any other reasons to eat this tropical treat! Try this salsa on Portobello Pepper Fajitas or any of your favorite Mexican dishes. This salsa also makes for a lovely side salad when tossed with baby greens.
