Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Unripe Mango (preferably Ataulfo or any low-carb variety)
- 0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 0.25 medium Red Onion
- 1 small Jalapeño Pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro Leaves
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling the unripe mango to reduce overall sugar content, and cut it into small, even cubes. Aim for cubes about 1/4 inch in size to ensure a balanced mix in each bite.
Next, wash and cut the red bell pepper. Remove all seeds and core before dicing it into small, evenly sized pieces that match the size of the mango cubes.
Peel and finely chop a quarter of a red onion, ensuring the pieces are small and uniform. This will provide a subtle but sharp flavor to the salsa.
Slice the jalapeño pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat. If you prefer your salsa spicy, you can leave some seeds intact. Finely dice the jalapeño.
Wash and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Measure out a quarter cup, packed tight, to ensure a bright, herbal flavor throughout the salsa.
Roll the lime gently on a hard surface to make it easier to juice. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the assembled ingredients.
Add the salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors meld well without overpowering the freshness of the mango.
Gently mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, taking care not to crush the mango pieces.
Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve fresh with your favorite low-carb chip alternatives or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
