1. Mango salsa
Mango salsa is a whole lot like regular salsa, only instead of red tomatoes, we substitute ripe mangoes for a unique twist on an old favourite. However, you will need cannabis-infused oil to infuse this dish, so if you don’t already have some on hand, it’s best to start with our guide on the subject, which will take you through the process from beginning to end.
