Mango Salsa

Ingredients:
- 1 whole, peeled and diced ripe mango
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup of diced, seeded tomatoes
- Jalapeño to your liking - I like mine spicy so I use a whole one!
- 1 handful of cilantro
- The juice of a whole lemon
- Salt and Pepper to taste

How to:

Combine all chopped and diced ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste, mix with a fork and enjoy! Goes well over most meats or scooped up with tortilla chips!

Guacamole

Ingredients:
4 Medium Avocados
2 vine ripe tomatoes
3 small serrano peppers or 2 large
1/2 a large white onion
1/2 bunch cilantro
2-3 lemons
garlic salt
salt
pepper

Recipe:
1. Cut avocados in half and take out the avocado meat, place into a medium sized mixing bowl. (Do not mash or cut into smaller pieces)
2. Dice tomatoes and add to the mixing bowl
3. Dice half of the union and add
4. Chop cilantro and add
5. Chop serranos and add
6. Add garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste
8. Add lemon
9. Now use a fork to mash the avocado as you are mixing all of the ingredients in (there should be no mixing and or mashing before this step!)
10. Taste test, if something is missing - you most likely were too light with the garlic salt and lemon, so try adding some of that
