Summer Salsa

This salsa tastes great with corn chips, but make sure you buy chips with all-natural ingredients, good oils and no added preservatives. Mangoes may be substituted with papayas, peaches or pineapples.

5 large mangoes 7 medium tomatoes 1 medium onion 1 bunch cilantro 1 Tbsp (15 ml) fresh basil, finely chopped 1 Tbsp (15 ml) tamari sauce 1/2 tsp (2 ml) spicy herbal salt (such as Herbamare) 2 jalapeno peppers (optional) or dash of cayenne pepper

Chop all ingredients and place in a large salad bowl. Mix thoroughly and chill for at least one hour; ingredients should have enough time to blend together. Before serving, season to taste with tamari or herbal salt.
