This mango papaya salsa is a light and fruity twist to the traditional salsa recipes. This is a colourful, tasty treat which can be enjoyed as a side dish with fish or chicken. Mango papaya salsa is a great treat on a warm summer day and can also be consumed with chips or as a topping with fish or poultry. This fresh salsa for summer uses mango, papaya, bell pepper and avocado with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I add salt and pepper in addition to balsamic vinegar to give it that extra flavour. You can also add minced or chopped jalapenos to make it hot and spicy. In this recipe, I an not using jalapenos.
