Fresh Mango Salsa
Whole Foods Market

This is a delightful variation on that quick and easy Microwave Soufflé and it’s perfect for brunch or a light evening meal. Use the soufflé recipe with following changes: omit the paprika and use a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper; omit the capers and in its place, use 2 teaspoons of Frank’s Hot Sauce; reduce the butter to 1 teaspoon; add 3 Tablespoons of refried beans. Another option is to substitute 1 Tablespoon of ground beef for the sausage. You will need to add approximately 2 to 3 more minutes to the final microwave cooking time.
Serve it with a hardy toasted bread, such as whole grain or rye for that “earthy” flavor that adds a perfect balance to this piquant creation. For the final touch, add sour cream and salsa on the side. You can even chop up the soufflé while it’s still warm and fold it in a wrap. If you use a wrap, it makes a perfect “brown bag” lunch that can be re-heated in the microwave at work; your co-workers will flock to the microwave, wondering what that awesome smell is. If you prepare it for the kiddies’ school lunch, their classmates will be totally envious!! You will find a perfect salsa recipe on the Wholefoods Market web site or you can visit their store in Portland, Maine. This national food market uses local ingredients that not only provide freshness but also supports local growers and businesses.
