After seeing LadyJayPee's beautiful photo of Mango Salsa and her referenced recipe from Sugar, I purchased a mango just for the purpose of making that mouth-watering concoction. The minute I finished mixing the ingredients, I sampled the salsa on a Tostito, and it was everything I hoped it would be--tangy with lime juice, sweet from the mango and a nice, crisp punch of flavor from the cilantro and jalapenos.I sauteed tilapia filets seasoned with Penzey's Smoky 4/S Salt to experiment with a salad in development for my catering menu.
I added diced red peppers and a dash of my favorite "lite" bottled dressing.
This made a delicious salad, but it became magnificent when I spooned it into a corn tortilla.
I could happily eat this every day of my life!Here is the recipe with my minor adaptations:
Fish Taco Salad with Mango Salsa
adapted from Eating, Etc.
and Everything Nice by Sugar and Spice
1 peeled and diced ripe mango, with juices
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
juice of one lime
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
Mix together & set aside. Assemble your favorite green salad and add grilled, sauteed, or fried fish. Spoon on mango salsa and shredded cheese, and dress lightly with your choice of salad dressing. Toss and serve immediately. Heaven!

This looks so refreshing and delicious, perfect for spring! It was raining earlier this week here in LA but the sun is starting to come back out again.
Hi Linda! This is the kind of sugar you'll want to get: http://www.amazon.com/Lars-Own-Belgian-Pearl-Sugar/dp/B001LDAE4C
I think you can find some other pearl sugars here in the states but it's the the right kind... you want the Belgian pearl sugar, what you'll find here is Swedish (Ikea carries it from what i've read online). The swedish kind is different though... Too bad because it's so expensive to get on Amazon! The boxes I got in Belgium were only $2USD. =/
So colorful & pretty, Granns! I can't get enough of it either.
Okay, after seeing the pictures I would DEFINITELY try it! We should have them next time we spend a Saturday around the pool!!
Roxan, thank you for visiting and for giving me the link for the pearl sugar!
LadyJP, you and Sugar are the inspiration for this!
Jenni, it's a date!
You had me at fish taco =)
Glad you like the mango salsa, too!
I wish I liked fish
because this surely looks delish.
Just a little poem for you, smiles.
It's so colorful and looks really delicious.What I love about salads is you can really get creative with your ingredients.
Great use of mango salsa. The taco salad looks great. I'm sure your customers will be pleased if you add it to your menu.
Sugar, thanks for the recipe!
Katy, you should try the mango salsa anyway. :)
Alisa, I agree--you can really put almost anything in a salad!
Sophie, thank you for visiting!
Kait, I'm glad you stopped by my blog. I haven't had anyone order the salad yet, but I'm ready for them. ;)
