Mango & Avocado Salsa

This salsa is great with tortilla chips, but also tastes great over chicken. Perfect for spring and summer!

  • 3 mangoes, chopped

  • 6 TBS finely chopped green bell pepper

  • 6 TBS finely chopped red bell pepper

  • 2 TBS chopped cilantro

  • 1 TBS ground pepper

  • 1 TBS olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 6 TBS minced onion

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 3 TBS champagne vinegar

  • 1 large avocado, chopped

Combine the mangoes, bell peppers, cilantro, pepper, olive oil, chives and salt in a bowl and mix well. Bring the onion, sugar and vinegar to a boil, in a small saucepan, and pour over mango mixture, tossing to coat. Stir in the avocado just before serving. Season as desired.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I have tried several chicken salad sandwich recipes, but this is one of my favorites. My friend, Cathy, served it at a play date several years ago and I still use it.

1 can white chicken drained
2 hard boiled eggs chopped
sliced green grapes
sweet relish
garlic salt
mayo (I just use a little and mix in a little at a time so it does not get to be to much)
toasted almonds (put in right before you serve so they are crunchy.

Serve on bread or roll of your choice.
