Tropical Salsa: Pico de Gallo all Dressed Up for a Party

July 25, 2014 by Valerie Lugonja 8 Comments

Great as a Summer Salad or a Compliment to the Perfect Fish Taco!

1 Tropical Salsa

Mexican Cooking Day with Chef Hugo Raya was inspiring. This Tropical Salsa Recipe is a spin off of the traditional Pico de Gallo salsa: simply add tropical fruit and avocado.

Tropical Salsa: Mis en Place

2 Tropical Salsa

Ooooo, baby! This is gooood stuff. Seriously. Mind you, I am a fan of guacamole and pico de gallo.  With the tropical fruit added to the mix, I would say, we have a Par-taay!

3 Tropical Salsa

Chop, dice, mince and enjoy the fresh fragrance of lime, cilantro, mango and onion. I am salivating.

Tropical Salsa: Combine all Ingredients in One Bowl

4 Tropical Salsa

I could sit and eat a bowl of this, and there’s nothing wrong with that! There is one avocado, but it is “gooood-for-you” fat! Motivated to put together a mango salsa by my daughter, Ragan, as we were embarking on our first “at home” Ling Cod fish taco experience, this is the recipe I put together. I like it. I like it.

And so did she! I can never get enough of these fresh flavours. I am absolutely hooked on them in the summer time.

6 Tropical Salsa

It is actually a very fresh, healthy and tasty side salad as well as the perfect fish taco topping.

10 Tempura Battered Ling Cod Fish Tacos

And why the Tropical Salsa on this July summer evening? To go with this incredible Tempura Battered Ling Cod in the form or a Fish Taco. The crunch from the addition of the traditional cabbage slivers, the velvety unctuous sour cream with the sparkling fresh Tropical Salsa together compliment the Tempura battered Ling Cod. Maybe a little finishing salt with another squeeze of lime? Completely up to how you like it, and I promise you – this is combination is unforgettable.

Let me know if you try it. Better yet; let me know if you have another fresh summer salad recipe that you are hooked on.

    I’m not a huge fan of fish, do you think this would taste ok with chicken?

    Eyeballed the measurements and only had lemon and nothing spicier than the onions because of my avoid reflux. Still came out amazing! The flavors go so well together. Sweetness of mango, creamy avocado, tartness of the citrus, crunchy onion and th bright flavor of cilantro. Yummmm 😋
