Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 whole Habanero pepper, finely minced
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 whole Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed

- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small bite-sized pieces, and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely mince the habanero pepper, removing seeds and membranes for less heat if preferred. Add it to the bowl with the mangoes. (Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after handling the pepper!)
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion into small pieces and add them to the mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the salsa mixture.
Squeeze the lime juice over the ingredients in the bowl, ensuring all the flavors are brightened.
Drizzle in the honey and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
