Margarita Chicken and Mango Salsa

This delicious mango salsa should be eaten with a spoon.

It has been warm here in Colorado this week and all I want to do is dance…no really…grill. Seriously grill.

Margarita Chicken and Mango Salsa…a winning combination. I have been making these recipes for years and everyone always asks for the recipe. The Cucumber adds a nice crunch. If I have avocados on hand I will often add them too. I always use a spicier hot pepper such as serranos or habaneros because we like things spicy around our house.

Happy Weekend grilling friends. Let me know what you think of this one!
