Living the Gourmet: Mango & Diced Tomato Salsa with Fresh Flat Bread

One of the most important parts of planning any gathering, as well as the most difficult, is creating a successful ‘introductory phase.’ It’s that first block of time where appetizers are served, ideally prepared before your guests arrive, and where your guests conduct their first round of mingling, and become comfortable with their surroundings. The result is that this ‘phase’ sets the tone for the gathering, and shapes how your guests perceive what’s to come afterward.

This is true regardless of the type of gathering, formal or informal, and regardless of whether your guests are new acquaintances, close friends, or even family. While it is true that a superbly crafted and presented main course can overpower any previous shortcomings, it is entirely preferable to have the main course well framed by what came before.

For the summer season, one of the most versatile and beloved items that may be included in a spread, for almost any occasion, is a simple salsa. Whether dressed up for formal dinner parties, or set out family style for a relaxed barbeque, it serves admirably, and is always a welcome touch.

Living the Gourmet: Mango & Diced Tomato Salsa with Fresh Flat Bread

During my last Walmart run Monday morning, I still wasn’t sure what I was going to prepare for my brothers, who were due to come for dinner that Wednesday evening. I pretty much had the dinner itself planned out, but I was simply at a loss for what serve around it.

Then I came across the display for Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes, and it clicked. I would prepare a fresh salsa, and combine it with a quick batch of my homemade flatbreads, which together would make for an excellent opening to our evening.

Before even leaving the store, the flavor profile was already running through my head. Roasted tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, would create a basic Latin or Mediterranean base. Fresh mango would provide subtle contrast to the base. Fresh lemon and orange juice would imbue the salsa a second layer of acidity, while at the same time serving to mute the sweetness of the mango. A roasted jalapeno would add a necessary kick, while the addition of cumin, curry, and turmeric would serve to create a mosaic of spice; elevating the salsa beyond the realm of the familiar.

With a light summer dinner planned for my guests, I knew that the profile was both seasonal as well as apropos to the main course. I prepared the salsa ahead of time, and had it ready for my guests when they arrived, along with a small batch of freshly made flatbreads. It was a delightfully simple success.

However, served in the flatbreads with either feta, ricotta salata or queso fresco and your meat of choice, the salsa could also make for exquisite light lunch or outdoor summer breakfast. Today I am sharing two versions of this deliciously fresh salsa, one that’s more for a luncheon or semi-formal affair, and another that’s best suited for those day’s or night’s when you just need a quick but elegant snack or appetizer.

That was my first use of salsa for the season, and now I would just love to hear about creative use you might have for salsa, or some of your favorite seasonal twists on the classic. Be sure to check out more delicious salsa recipes here.

    For the Salsa:

  3. In a large bowl combine the Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes; along with all of the other ingredients and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Serve the salsa with sliced cucumber along with a soft cheese such as feta, queso fresco or ricotta salata on a fresh homemade flatbread or your favorite store-bought flatbread.
  5. For the Flatbreads:
  6. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder.
  7. Combine the warm water with the olive oil and slowly add to the dry ingredients while stirring; bring together.
  8. On a floured surface knead and form into a ball; then cut into six or eight pieces. Form the pieces into a ball.
  9. On a floured surface; roll out the balls into thin discs.
  10. Heat a griddle and place the discs on the hot griddle. When bubbles form turn over and finish cooking.
  11. In a large bowl combine the Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes; along with all of the other ingredients and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  12. Serve the salsa with sliced cucumber along with a soft cheese such as feta, queso fresco or ricotta salata on a fresh homemade flatbread (recipe above), or your favorite store-bought flatbread.

    Catherine, That is a great sounding recipe for a distinctive salsa! I don't care for bell peppers but I don't think that leaving them out would significantly alter the flavor impact. This is a great warm weather meal starter... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Dear Catherine & Michael, You truly are so creative with food. You are like a painter with a palette, only your palette is the flavor and texture of foods. I can just see your mind racing through the recipe that you have in your head. Pure genius! This Mango-Salsa with the tomato and added to your flatbread was a welcomed sight I am sure for your guests. I love mango and this is a definite must make in my list. Besides all the colors are so lovely together particularly on the flatbread. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Have a great and blessed weekend dear friends... Dottie :) xx

    What a fabulous starter! I love salsas--both mango and tomato, but have never combined them. I know I'd adore every bite. And love your lunch idea, too. I've been thinking of you, Catherine. Keeping your brother in my prayers.
