Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Begin by peeling, pitting, and dicing the mangoes. Finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preferred spice level.
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Season to taste: Add salt to your liking. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
- Let the flavors meld: Refrigerate the mango salsa for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
- Choose ripe mangoes: The sweetness of the mangoes is key to the overall flavor of the salsa. Make sure they are ripe but not overripe, as this will affect the texture.
- Adjust the heat: If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before chopping. For more heat, leave some of the seeds intact or add an extra half jalapeño.
- Add some crunch: For an added layer of texture, try mixing in some finely diced cucumber or jicama.
