Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Fresh mango
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Fresh jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Rinse all produce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if desired, and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Add it to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Dice it finely and add it to the bowl.
Peel the red onion and chop it into small, even-sized pieces. Add it to the mixture in the bowl.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add it to the salad for a burst of sweetness.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
If using jalapeño, finely chop it (removing seeds for less heat or leaving them for more spice) and add to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to combine.
Let the salad salsa sit for about 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it on its own as a bright and refreshing summer salad.
