As promised, “Voila!” the mango salsa recipe that toppled over our teriyaki burger post a few days ago. And we’re thrilled that we actually wrote about it, as promised, considering how behind we’ve been on everything else! The office is a mess, the bathrooms need cleaning and we have 2 other projects behind schedule, but at least we wrote out the mango salsa recipe!
The feeling of accomplishment is sincerely overwhelming. 
splash of fresh lime juice is wonderful
Those teriyaki burgers were extra special we wanted a fruity accompaniment to the homemade teriyaki sauce that coated the patties. Mango salsa is just bitchen. Fresh, fruity, tangy, sweet and sour (if extra lime added) brings out the flavor of almost any burger. Definitely try the mango salsa on some grilled meat dishes or even as a side dish. It’s pretty, colorful, healthy, fresh and sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. One of the favorite staff meals I (Todd) came up with for my crew where I used to manage was a pizza laden with mango salsa, chipotle, roasted potato slices, and smoked gouda cheese. Soooo good!
Our mango tree is settling in nicely with new flowers and hopefully, a ton of fruit this year! If it’s another good year, we’ll be swimming in more fresh mango salsa. But until then, we’ve still been lucky to find some great, juicy and sweet mangoes at our local Asian market.

As another promise, we told some twitter friends that we’d share some pictures of our favorite roses: our climbing eden rose.
A conversation over twitter a few weeks ago led to fun geek-out rose talk with fellow twitter peeps and nice comments came to our little rose post.
We now have a little blogging rose club with these lovely peeps and now call our little group the Petal Power Club! These roses are dedicated to them:
- Jeanne at @FourChickens

Mango Salsa Recipe
This is another one of those recipes which we rarely measure out. It is always done by taste, cravings and adjusted for the ingredients seasonal variations. Of course, the better the mangos and tomatoes, the better the salsa, as these two ingredients will vary tremendously in flavor and quality. Use the quantities listed as a rough guide and make adjustments to taste. If you like your mango salsa more sour, add more lime… spicy? add in your favorite chilies (Serranos are a great addition)… Some tomatoes you may need to seed before dicing, but usually Romas are so meaty that for us it is unnecessary. If you are hesitant on how to cut a mango, Elise at Simply Recipes has a nice tutorial.
1 lrg Mango, 1/2″ dice (@ 2 c)
1 Roma Tomato, 1/2″ dice (@1/2 c)
1 T Cilantro (finely chopped)
1 t fresh Lime Juice
pinch of Sea Salt
1 T Green Onions, finely sliced ~ optional
finely diced chilies ~ optional
1. Combine all ingredients together and gently mix. Adjust individual ingredients to taste.
Store covered in fridge until ready to use. Keeps about 3-4 days.

This salsa looks amazing as do these stunning roses. Thanks so much for the photos, I am in love with these roses!!!
Jaysus—add me to your rose club, will you? They are GORGEOUS.
The salsa is awfully purty too!
Good luck with all you have to do—I know that feeling. You’ll get there, I’m sure
tara- you’re in! happy to have you going the club. xoxo
Such gorgeous roses! And I love your table as well–rustic and rich.
Really silly question, but I moved into a home last year and there are gorgeous roses blooming outside. I want to cut some to bring inside and enjoy. Where is the best place to cut roses off the bush so that I do not kill the rest of the plant?
beastmomma- cutting the roses far enough for a vase arrangement shouldn’t kill the plant. Trimming actually is good for the rose and encourages growth. But we’re not rose experts. Best is to consult your local nursery.
Thanks for the rose photos! They are stunning! I have double knock out along the back of the house and they were solid dark pink last week. I would love to add a climber to our yard.
Can’t wait to try these burgers. We love mango salsa.
Yipee! I will keep my eye on the mail. xoxo
I have said it before, and will say it again – you have the best garden I have ever seen. EVER. Tip top salsa recipe too guys, and fab. photos as usual!
Beautiful. Our garden wants to be like yours when it grows up.
[K]
P.S. The mango salsa ain’t bad, either!
one more thing.. that first photo. LOVE the lighting in this shot. Love how the bowl is the brightest, most visible thing in the shot. LOVE the vignette – totally draws you in to the bowl. And the highlight on the front side of the bowl? WOW, just perfect.
I am always so envious of everyone’s garden out in Southern California! The flowers and plants are incredible there. We were reminded of the perfect climate when we visited LA a few weeks ago. Your roses are just beautiful and so are the pictures (of the salsa, too!).
I love mango salsa! What a great condiment for a summer burger. The roses are gorgeous and a lovely tribute to those who have served or given their lives to protect us. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
Thanks so much for more gorgeous Eden Rose photos. I am thrilled to be a part of your Petal Power club. It is amazing how much an image like that can brighten up someones day. The Mango Salsa looks fabulous. I love mangos, the sweetness with a touch of tang is perfection in a fruit. The pizza you speak of sounds like it was quite the treat! xxoo
Oh. my. heavens. That comment applies to both the salsa AND the roses! I have several rose bushes in my garden but nothing, I mean nothing like yours – boy howdy, those are just beautiful! The salsa looks pretty terrific too – wish I were coming to the workshop in CO so I could learn to take pics like you guys – perfection!
what a beautiful salsa as well as gorgeous table, bowls and photos.
The roses are just too beautiful!
I’m stunned when looking at the picture (Fresh Cut) on the right. Those roses were thriving and growing so beautiful in your garden. You know what? I always secretly wish my husband send me 99 roses. If I could grow these beautiful roses in my backyard, I would be no longer in “emptiness”, lol.
Thanks for sending us the virtual roses.
The colour of your mango salsa is very vibrant and attractive. You really know how to compose a picture with contrast colours. Still learning from you.
This is such a beautiful dedication! It’s so beautiful how the roses wane left and appear to rest downward.
Oh my goodness… that trellis is amazing and those roses are incredible.
And your salsa pictures are stunning as well!
I’m with Matt on that first photo – the colors, the light, the contrast – just beautiful. I think the background details of your photos really help boost them to the next level, too. That little bit of fuzzy green off to the right; really nice touch. I don’t even know what to say about your climbing roses, they are incredible! Envious. And curious what you are feeding them – ours are pretty healthy but they could use a little boost!
Wow- those roses are absolutely breathtaking! They look so silky-soft and pillowy. Nice work! I also love the looks of that mango salsa. I’m jealous that you are able to grow your own- California keep looking better and better as a place to end up after Tokyo!
Mmm. The salsa sounds amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
Absolutely gorgeous, both the salsa and the roses!
BTW, I want your table. Really. If not for your ferocious dogs I would attempt a heist.
Aren’t you sweet? I love, love those roses! I told my husband that I want an Eden rose on our front porch of our new house to twine over the front door!
Sadly, I gave my husband a gorgeous Falstaff rose for our anniversary a couple of years ago and it’s not blooming at all this year (it’s in a pot on our front patio now, and it’s been eaten alive.)
Love this post and the photos of the mango salsa are stunning. Your photography always inspires me to do better.
Yesterday I picked the petals off all my over-bloomed (from the heat!) roses to bring to @nickelmoon to make rose water. Looking forward to seeing (smelling?) how it comes out.
Thanks for including me in the club.
This salsa looks amazing and the roses are beautiful! I’m so envious that I haven’t had salsa or roses recently!
Oh, your photo of salsa on the table is fabulous!
We just cut a huge bunch of our roses too, and they graced our recent dinner party tables. Stop by and see if you have a moment…we used rosemary in the arrangements.
I have some Egyptian Papyrus too, I never thought to pair it with my roses. That is an idea I will definitely use. You never know what is going to bring inspiration!

As much as I like the popular food on white food blog photos, I love the darker look of the salsa photos.
Your roses are beautiful. I especially love the Eden roses. Being in an apartment I don’t have a garden, but cannot taking photos of roses when I see them.
Your roses are amazing. And the mango salsa looks delicious.
I love the rose photos, they are beautiful. Mine are about ready to bloom. I will take photos when they do. Mango salsa is a sign of summer for me. I could eat that entire bowl.
Delish! I like to add a little Sriracha sauce to the mango salsa to give it a little kick.
I can almost smell those roses! What gorgeous, summer photos of your beautiful buds! I know you both are in the thick of it and wanted to give you a very big hug and kiss to let you know I’m thinking of you both and wishing you a tiny bit of rest–between all the big gigs.
hugs and kisses,
Brooke
Yum! We love mango salsa at our house, but most of the time instead of using tomato we throw in a can or so (or freshly cooked if you have it) of drained black beans. So so delicious and great with any variety of grilled seafood.
Awesome. Just arrived home with 6 mangoes and some salmon. This will be perfect.
I was just pondering about mango salsa last night – thinking it’d be a great idea for a dinner night soon. Your post came at a such a good time! Looks incredibly yummy and your photos are gorgeous too.
Wow your salsa looks so fresh and delicious. The roses are beautiful! I love fruity salsa on a burger – what a delicious combination. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, the food and photography looks just wonderful, congrats guys from Sydney Australia
The mango recipe sounds very good. I will give it a try. thanks for sharing.
That salsa looks like just the thing for a summer bbq! Lovely roses too!
I was looking for a great salsa for a side dish for tonight and found this great recipe. My stomach started to growl when I was reading this. I can’t wait to share this at my party tonight. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
