Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes
- 1 small ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 1 medium piece red bell pepper
- 1 small piece jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 medium piece red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon optional honey
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into similar-sized pieces as the mangoes and add to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and inner membranes from the red bell pepper. Finely dice the pepper and add it to the mango and melon mixture.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add it to the bowl.
Peel and finely chop half of a red onion, then mix it into the salsa.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the fruit and vegetables.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh juice over the mixture. Add salt and optional honey if a sweeter salsa is desired.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.
Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, or as a topping for tacos or fish. Enjoy!
