Vitamix Raw Vegan Mango Salsa

We are in the second week of our Vitamix 750 Giveaway, and we continue our celebration of the FABULOUS new Vitamix website and recipe center. This week is all about dips and spreads, and I am going to share some of my favourite super easy recipes this week.

Those of you who tried my mango salsa green smoothie a few months ago will remember my fondness for fruit salsas. I love how versatile they are -- you can pair them with sweet and savoury flavours. They make a fantastic quick easy dip with corn chips or veggie sticks, or as a side with grilled vegetables or tofu! I even enjoy this mango salsa on vegan ice cream. YUMMO! 

Making salsa in your Vitamix is SO quick and easy! Who needs knives and cutting boards? You can literally throw this Mango Salsa together in minutes, with far less clean up. As you can see from my guacamole video, even on a low variable speed the Vitamix only takes seconds to achieve a rustic chunky consistency. If you prefer a smoother consistency, just process for a little longer. I prefer chunky salsas, so I always stop the machine after a few seconds to check the consistency. You can always make it smoother, but you can't go back.

Have a look at my making dips video for more tips on making dips and spreads in your Vitamix. The most important thing to remember when making chunky-style dips is to keep the machine on a low variable speed and use the tamper to guide the ingredients through the blades. This gives you the most control over the texture of your blend. 

In the video, I am making the quick easy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. But be sure to check out the other fantastic easy salsa recipes in the Vitamix Recipe Center. Check out their Tomato Salsa, Salsa Mexicano, Tomatillo Salsa, Crunchy Apple Salsa, Fruity Avocado Salsa, and Pineapple Salsa. All of these recipes are incredibly simple. Anybody can make them!

That is the fantastic thing about Vitamix. It is just makes everything easier...
More yummies tomorrow :)
