Okay, maybe a little dramatic. But when I found out that I had an autoimmune issue that was making me infertile, I was excited that we finally found our answer to our unexplained infertility, but devastated that all nightshades were literally off the table.
Fertility Food Recipe - AIP MANGO SALSA
Oct 17, 2020
Living without salsa is like living without a soul.
It took us over five years and two failed IVFs to find our root cause to our unexplained infertility and when that day came, I was more than happy to go Autoimmune Paleo (AIP).
Okay, I'm being dramatic again. Going AIP sucked, like really sucked. I felt like I had given up so much in the name of infertility and cutting out nightshades was one of the hardest things I had to do. But I was willing and made a big commitment to doing it right. And that meant cutting out all of my beloved Mexican foods.
A few months ago I was visiting my family back in California and my dad made a crazy good persimmon salsa - persimmons are hard to get a hold of over in the UK, so I thought why not substitute it with mango!
I went a solid year without googling or experimenting in the kitchen (I’m not sure why), so when I found suitable AIP replacements like Nomato & Mango Salsa, I felt like I got a little part of me back!
This recipe makes enough salsa for 4:
1 Mango (make sure it's not too ripe - you don't want mushy salsa)
1 Red Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
Coriander (Cilantro)
Fresh Lemon (1/3) or Lime (1/2) Juice
Salsa is so easy to make - you can just use a knife for chunky salsa or if you want a finer salsa use either a hand or electric chopper. Chop all ingredients to desired chunkiness, add fresh lemon or lime juice & mix it all together!
This mango salsa is fantastic with fish tacos (gluten-free of course), AIP friendly fajita salad or just about any fresh Mexican-themed dish. If you have your favourite "chip" substitute, this salsa is amazing straight out of the bowl!!
Enjoy-
Sugar Warning: If you’re following a low-carb diet or watching your sugar intake, you’ll need to know Mango is high in sugar. 3 ounces of Mango has roughly 12.3 grams of total carbohydrates - Sugar, a type of short-chain simple carbohydrate, accounts for more than 90 per cent of the total carb count, totalling 11.3 grams.
