A quick recipe for fresh salsa featuring sweet mangoes and spicy peppers, perfect for topping proteins or eating with chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (use more for extra heat)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the mangoes into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Finely chop the red onion and mince the jalapeño. Add both to the bowl with the mangoes.
  3. Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
  4. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  6. Gently stir all ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the mango pieces intact.
  7. Taste the salsa and adjust lime juice or salt as needed.
  8. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a milder salsa, remove all seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño.
  • If you do not have fresh lime, you can substitute with bottled lime juice, but fresh is recommended.
  • This salsa pairs well with grilled white fish, chicken, or pork chops.
