At the moment we are experiencing a heatwave of note and the temperatures vary from 34-38 C
and for me it is way too hot!!! We are fortunate, however to enjoy the last of the summer fruits and the mangoes and grapes are at their sweetest.
After a week of meat binging I was ready to try something light and healthy for a change and came up with this salsa idea.
Mango, avocado and corn salsa
1 pineapple (de-cored and diced finely)
1 big mango, diced
1 red pepper diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 chili, diced
herb of choice - I used basil and parsley(my family is not keen on coriander)
lemon- infused olive oil
juice and zest of a lemon
Season to taste.
Chop and mix everything together and serve with grilled fish, chicken of grilled halomi cheese.
I served mine with crumbed fish and a curry mayonnaise.

Delicious- sweet salsas are my favorite. I think everyone in the colder parts of the world will appreciate your warm post :)
recipegirl - thx for coming to visit so regularly, much appreciated!!
Wow, that's hot considering your summer's ending.
Nothing wrong with eating light and the salsa is colourful and no doubt delish.
I just made something very similar last night, but with pineapple instead of mango. My husband ate all our mango :-(
This does look beautiful and looks like it would go well on my fish tacos!
The salsa looks so good I could probably make a meal of it without anything to go with it.
peter - we were in the pool tonight at 9pm.
kate - husbands do that some time, mine loves condensed milk.
noble pig - great idea, let me know if it worked.
giz - you're right, I had the leftovers for lunch today.
That sweet salsa sounds really good!
I'm saving this recipe for a hot summer night with barbecued fish, as you recommend.
I love mango salsa but I never thought about putting pineapple in it too. Great idea!
kevin.Thx, go on give it a go.
lori lynn - that will be divine.You must be dying for summer to arrive as I am praying for winter.
nina - aahh, a name sake, if I am not mistaken it is your first visit. Please come again!
That salsa really does sound refreshing.
I'm not too keen on coriander, either.
That's a lovely refreshing tasty salsa. I would eat it with fish or chicken. Oh hurry up summer!
emiline - the great cooks out there will have a lot to say about us not liking coriander.
glamah - And I say: "Oh hurry up winter!"
gosh tat's really hot!....but your salsa looks soooo refreshing...try japanese cucumber salad? toss some thinly sliced cucumber with crab meat, fish roe and japanese mayo? very refreshing ^^
rita - I will most definitely do that, thx for the tip.
I am wondering if the climate is similar to northern california/mediterranean where you are at (south africa)....because the fruits & your type of cooking seems to reflect a similarity to that very much.
I grew up in san francisco and there is such a lush availability of fresh fruits/vegetables....oh esp. figs - love your post on figs.
I also think wines from South Africa are so underrated....they are one of my favorites because they are so unique + love the mineral/fruit balance in them.
taste memory - I live in Cape Town and we have primarily a winter rainfall with very hot summers. Normally the climate changes round about Easter, but this year we are tortured for just a bit longer with the heat.
I should know more about SA wines as I am living in the Winelands, but sadly I am a complete novice when it comes the the knowledge of wine.
Loos so good. I love sweet salsas.
Helene - Thanks for the visit, I love the looks of that salmon wrap on your blog.
