Description
This fresh, vibrant salsa combines sweet juicy mango with spicy jalapeños, crunchy red pepper, and zesty lime for a perfect taco topping or chip dip.
Ingredients
2 fresh mangos, diced
¼ red onion, finely diced
2 jalapeño peppers, minced
½ sweet red bell pepper, minced
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 fresh lime
Instructions
1. Stand mango upright and slice off both cheeks on either side of pit. Score flesh in crosshatch pattern without cutting through skin. Push skin from underneath to pop cubes out, then slice them off into bowl.
2. Finely chop red onion. Mince jalapeños and red bell pepper into small pieces. Keep everything roughly the same size for balanced flavors.
3. Add diced mango, red onion, jalapeños, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro to mixing bowl. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
4. Squeeze fresh lime juice over entire mixture and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for up to 3 days.
Notes
Makes 6 servings (about ¼ cup each).
For milder salsa, remove all jalapeño seeds and white membranes.
Frozen mango works if completely thawed and patted dry with paper towels.
Substitute fresh parsley or mint if you dislike cilantro, or omit entirely.
Cut all ingredients into small, uniform pieces so they scoop easily on chips.
Can prep chopping the night before and store components separately. Combine and add lime juice just before serving.
