I can already feel summer coming. Our days are warming up and Memorial Day weekend is here. Time to take advantage of the season’s produce and whip together a refreshing peach mango salsa.
Make double and triple batches. Grab your tostadas and start dipping away as you enjoy your three-day weekend.
This recipe was originally developed for my friend Eva-Marie Palmer, author of Gaby Garcia’s Ultimate Playbook Series.
"In my Gabby Garcia’s Ultimate Playbook series, Gabby’s father, Juan Garcia, is a home chef. Much like me, Gabby’s father is a freelance writer and he makes most of the family’s meals. (And sometimes, he procrastinates on his deadlines by cooking something very elaborate; I fully understand the impulse and recently enjoyed some deadline chicken cordon bleu.)
Meanwhile, Gabby — a baseball pitcher extraordinaire — has quite an appetite. She plays hard and she needs fuel! She’s a particularly big fan of baseball food, especially hot dogs (likewise, baseball stadium hot dogs are among the greatest delights of my life). She loves Hot Dog Night at home because her dad always make a toppings bar. (A procrastinating parent can really pay off, kids!) One of his specialties is peach mango salsa, and Gabby and her brother will fight over the last spoonful. (Delicious fresh peaches are easy to come by as the Garcias live in Peach Tree, Georgia.)"
