Mango Strawberry Salsa
My kids and most kids aren’t the biggest fans of traditional salsa but they will LOVE this fruity alternative!
While it is great served up with chips, I especially love it with these breaded chicken tacos. You can easily use any store bought chicken nuggets or you can give our oaty gluten-free chicken nuggets a try.

Why use organic mango and strawberries?
I love using organic produce, especially berries when possible because they are not sprayed with pesticides and other harmful chemicals. The BRIANNAS Organic Mango Vinaigrette is already organic so that is great!
If you are looking for a bit of a different flavor than mango with your strawberry salsa, you could give one of their other organic salad dressings a try. They have these other great flavors: Organic Honey Ginger Vinaigrette, Organic Red Wine Vinaigrette, Organic Rich Poppy Seed Dressing and Organic Real French Vinaigrette.
