margarita mix

Add the mangoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, scallion and 1 tablespoon margarita mix to a large bowl. Toss and taste, then add another splash of margarita mix if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Having grown up in Southern California, most of the time in San Diego, I am very partial to Mexican flavors, and this mango salsa recipe is a gem because of the margarita mix, a fresh spin. That said, I refused to use the bottled margarita mix, as I have enjoyed far too many scratch-made margaritas to settle for this stuff. So I made my own: starting with lime juice (squeeze fresh or use Santa Cruz brand organic, not-from-concentrate lime juice), I mixed 2 parts lime juice to 1 part simple syrup, to 1 part triple sec. (If you have any leftover mix, toss in a bit of tequila and celebrate your salsa with a margarita shot!) Served the salsa over salmon filets—grilled, roasted, pan seared, however you like it. Heavenly. 

I have to admit that it tastes very good. I also added radishes (finely minced) for some added crunch. This needs salt and pure lime juice. And voila!
