Fermented Mango & Tomato Salsa

• 1 cup (240 ml) chopped mango
• 4 cups (960 ml) chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 cup (240 ml) packed cilantro leaves
• 1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
• 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) sea salt
• 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) lime zest
• 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) whey OR fermented kraut juice from a batch of sauerkraut

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a large glass, stainless steel, or ceramic bowl. Mix well.
2. Put ingredients into a quart-size, wide-mouth mason jar. Place Kraut Source onto the jar. There will be enough liquid released from the tomatoes to cover your salsa within 12 hours.
3. Allow to ferment for 3 - 5 days at room temperature.

Serving suggestion:

Delicious with corn chips or on grilled meats.
