Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 large mango
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the tomatoes, mango, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime thoroughly under cool water to ensure everything is clean.
Dice the tomatoes into small, roughly 1/4-inch pieces and add them to a medium mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the mango into cubes of similar size to the tomatoes, then add them to the bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the mix.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds for less heat (or leave them in for added spice), and mince finely before adding it to the mixture.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
Juice the lime over the mixture, ensuring you capture as much juice as possible.
Add the sea salt and black pepper, then gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preferences.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a side to your favorite summer dishes. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
