I make this cool refreshing salsa to accompany spicy foods, such as Jerk Chicken. I serve it right on top of the meat, or on the side. Perfect with spicy pork or steak as well. Add a cup of chopped mango or strawberry's for a lovely side dish.

Fantastic!! What a simple but delicious accompaniment for a spicy entrée. I used fresh mint and am happy I did. I liked it much better than cilantro which I seem to not have a 'taste' for anymore. Great recipe Cosmicmother!
