Fruit Salsa

As you all know I absolutely enjoy cooking, baking, preparing food of all sorts.  My pantry is full of a variety of ingredients and after hosting a party for my sister in law Shawn who sells Tupperware I slowly opened up to the possibilities of an organized kitchen and pantry with Tupperware.   Back In February I became a Tupperware consultant myself because I believe the products are great and worth sharing.  Last night my friend Rhonda let me host a Taco's & Tupperware Party at her house.  I made a lot of food including a traditional tomato salsa and a fruit salsa.   The fruit salsa was the big hit of the night and several ladies asked for the recipe so here it is for your enjoyment and pleasure.  Should you be interested in buying Tupperware or hosting a Facebook Tupperware or traditional in home Tupperware Party my website is here.

Aldi's has a great snack, cinnamon and sugar churros and they are the perfect food to eat with this fruit salsa.  They are the same as the churro's Taco Bell sells I think.  You could dip cinnamon and sugar tortilla chips in it too I suppose.



Ingredients:

1 lb Strawberries
1 pint Raspberries
3 Kiwis
2 Mangos
Juice from 1/2 Lime

 Rinse all the fruit.  Cut green stems off strawberries.  Peel mangoes

This is my Tupperware chop prep bowl, it hooks onto the drawer and allows me to peel over it. Its like Rachel Ray's garbage bowl but not on my counter so its out of the way.  

Cut the mango around the seed.  The seed is in the middle, if you cut a small portion of the mango on the bottom you can have it stand up and you cut from the top and along the edge of the seed.  Cut into  chunks.

 Peel the kiwi and cut into chunks.

Place the fruit in a Tupperware Power Chef if you have one or a food processor and chop the fruit.  You could also chop the fruit in a blender.  Otherwise chop the fruit into small pieces with a knife.  The Tupperware Power Chef is a great tool for the kitchen since it doesn't require electricity, it has a a pull cord.  It would be a great kitchen gadget for the kitchen and for camping.  My daughter Haley is modeling how to use the Power Chef, the amount of fruit in this salsa necessitated filling the container one and a half times to get all the fruit chopped but it would all fit in a standard food processor.


After all the fruit is chopped, pour into a bowl and squeeze the lime juice on the fruit and stir.  Its ready to dip into.  Remember this is highly perishable so eat it the same day, although it is so delicious you aren't likely to have left-overs. 


Enjoy!
