Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and dice the flesh into small cubes, discarding the pit. Place the diced mango in a large mixing bowl.
Wash and core the red bell pepper, then finely dice it. Add the diced red bell pepper to the bowl with the mango.
Peel and finely dice half of a red onion. Mix it into the bowl with the mango and bell pepper.
Carefully deseed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper (use gloves if necessary to avoid irritation). Add it to the mixture.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and measure out half a cup. Add the cilantro to the salsa mixture.
Roll the lime on the countertop to soften it, then cut it in half and juice it over the salsa. Stir to combine.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil for added richness.
Mix everything together thoroughly and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let the salsa sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, over grilled chicken, or as a topping for tacos. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
