Yum! We love Pico, too!! I pretty much make mine the same way… but here’s another variation that’s good on fish:
1 c. chopped mango
1 c. sliced banana
1/4 c. chopped fresh mint
2 T. orange juice
1 tsp. grated lime rind
1 T. fresh lime juice
1 (8 oz. can)–or fresh is best! pineapple chunks, drained
1 serrano or jalapeno–depending on what degree of heat you like–seeded and chopped

Great on fish or chicken!!

P.S. Love the pic of Jim in S.D.!! How did you love Mt. Rushmore?? What else did you do?

Yum Melinda, that sounds delicious! I’ve got mostly everything but the mangoes growing in my garden, so I’ll have to test it out. Thanks! :)

I love pico!!! Especially when Angelica makes it. I think her recipe is the same as yours, but she adds avocado. Here’s a salsa I use to eat with fish:

Mango Salsa
2 large ripe mangoes
1/2 red bell pepper
2 Tbsp. minced red onion
1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
1-2 Jalapeno pepper (+seeds if you like it hot)
2 Tbsp. Lime juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

I like it on Tilapia or swordfish steaks!
