SALSA SNACK BOX
PREP TIME: 15 minutes | COOK TIME: none | TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes | YIELD: 4 servings
Lo and behold—my favorite snack box yet! Well, maybe it’s a close second after the Mini Pumpkin Protein Donuts. No, but really, snacking has never been so stinking good until now.
The strawberry mango salsa here is perfectly sweet and savory to satisfy any mid-afternoon craving. And the longer it sits, the better it tastes!
Now you can always decrease or increase the amount of jalapeño depending on how much heat you prefer. And please remember to wash your hands immediately after handling a jalapeño pepper. There’s nothing worse than hot pepper hands!
