You'd be silly not to make a margarita.
Make a sour mix with 25% lemon juice, 25% lime juice and 50% simple syrup.

Tips + Tricks
- If you're making guac and salsa cut enough onion and coriander for both at the same time. This will limit your prep work!
- Soaking the onion in the lime juice will help take away the undesirable punch of the onion. No one likes onion breath.
- Mangos not in season? You can sub other ingredients easily! Try fruits like strawberries, nectarines or pomegranate, or lightly roasted corn is always a winner.
Mama's Wisdom
This healthy and tasty side-dish is high in vitamin C which is good for you for many (too many to list) reasons and fiber (good for digestion). A lot of store bought salsas have added sugar and preservatives, and aren't nearly as fresh as home-made ones.
