Mango Salsa

1/4 red onion, diced fine
1 jalapeno, diced and semi seeded (I only take about half the seeds out, you need some heat or it's too sweet!)
a small handful cilantro, chopped
A few T. lime juice
Salt & Pepper
That's it! No fats, no oils, no unhealthy crap. Just good for you goodness! If it is too spicy for you, you can temper it with some chopped avocado. I usually eat it with chicken or fish...and that tempers it enough for me. It is so pretty, so yummy and so good for you. I serve it as a side, but you can pile it right on top if you are serving it to someone. It is more attractive this way.
**You can also add come diced cucumber. I didn't because I didn't have any on hand, but it is a common ingredient in Mango Salsa. You could also add diced red bell pepper. This would be a pretty addition. :)
And, coming soon.......good for you (read: low cal) crab cakes with Mustard Sauce. I am making this tonight so I will post the recipe soon. Yummo!
(as you can probably tell, I swiped this image from food network b/c I don't have a picture) :)
