Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin, half-moon-shaped slices. Add the onion to the bowl with the mango.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
If using jalapeño, finely chop it (removing seeds for less heat) and add it to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mango and red onion mixture and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt to taste.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
