Two more mango mania items from TJ's. Both very good.
I found the frozen mango salsa in the freezer section with frozen Mexican entrees. This is very good - way better than the jarred mango/pineapple "Island Salsa" that suffered from mealy textured mango. As a single eater, I really liked the way the ingredients are individually frozen so it's possible to remove just a portion and leave the rest frozen. Flavors are very fresh, the texture is good and it packs a nice little kick. It was $2.99. I can imagine using it in a lot of ways and it would be worth keeping on hand when good, fresh mangos are hard to come by.
I also tried the mango jicama slaw from the refrigerated section. It was $4.99 for a 3-serving tub, sort of a racket for a slaw-type product but I'd heard good recommendations and thought I'd get some and see if it's worth trying to make my own version. The lime-mango vinaigrette is packed in a small pouch at the bottom of the container and the other ingredients layered on top. The vinaigrette is very tasty, much nicer (to me) than the bottled Sweet & Spicy Mango Vinaigrette that TJ is also selling. I liked it enough that I went back for a second container rather than making my own for lunch I hosted yesterday.
