Spicing it up vs. Spicing it down



Lately Ryan and I have tried to find some healthy snacks to substitute for cookies, Doritos and popcorn. I poked around the Food Network site and stumbled upon a salsa recipe. 

Ryan’s favorite food type is Mexican. He grew up in Arizona and is no stranger to hot and spicy food. Actually, his family can’t get enough of it. Whenever I go down to visit, they try to grow my tolerance for spicy stuff, which isn’t always an easy process. Needless to say, my bland preference clash with Ryan’s some of the time. But I finally found a salsa that we both like!

I’ve realized that simplicity is my best friend. The ingredients are pretty simple except for the mango, which is a little tricky since it’s hard to find good, fresh mango produce in Utah during the winter. Other than that, this salsa is a great snack or appetizer for people that have a hard time stomaching spicy food.
