This salsa is perfect atop of grilled chick, pork or fish.  I also love it served as a appetizer with tortilla chips.  Farm fresh and so easy!

Ingredients:

3 mangos, peeled, pitted and chopped
1 jalapeño, diced (use less for less heat)
1/4 cup of cilantro leaves, chopped
1 red/yellow pepper chopped into small pieces
3 tablespoons of a great quality balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Mix everything in a bowl and drizzle the  balsamic over top.  Mix well and refrigerate for 2 hours to let the flavors blend.  Serve and enjoy!

Chobani Guacamole.

We love taco night in our house.  Plus, it’s my go-to quick dinner that I know everyone will gobble up.  Tonight my kids had swim practice & my father & I have been tirelessly working on our backyard construction project/re-do.  Finally today, it’s taking shape!  Can’t wait for it to be done & for our parties to start!

This recipe is super easy, adjustable to your taste and protein-packed.  Plus with the crazy price of avocados, it extends them a bit by adding the Chobani.

Ingredients:

3 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeño, seeded (if you don’t like it spicy, leave the seeds in if you do)
3 avocados, pitted and the inside scooped out
2 tbl of lime juice
1/4 c of Chobani non fat plain yogurt
1 handful of cilantro leaves, washed
1 tbl ground cumin
1/2 – 1 tsp of cayenne pepper depending on how spicy you like it.  (omit if you don’t like it spicy)
1 tsp of salt (adjust this per taste)

Directions:  In your food processor blend the garlic and jalapeño until finely minced.  Then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.  Adjust the spices to your liking.  Serve immediately.

I could eat this by the spoon!  So fresh, so delicious with just a hint of kick from the jalapeño.   This recipe screams spring and summer to me!  I love this over grilled chicken or fish.  Or you can simply serve it with tortilla chips as an appetizer.  So versatile.  So delish!

Ingredients:
3 mangoes, ripe and pitted, sliced into small chunks
1 smaller red pepper, diced (or yellow/orange peppers)  Whatever you have on hand :)
1 green onion, chopped
1 jalapeño, finely diced
2 tbl of chopped cilantro, fresh
2 tbl of aged balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and then cover and refrigerate for 2-6 hours.
