Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Mango Salsa
  • 2 ripe mangoes
  • 0.5 red onion
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.06 tsp black pepper Use a pinch.

Method
 

Make the salsa
  1. Combine diced mango, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro in a medium bowl.
  2. Add fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper, then stir gently to combine without crushing the mango chunks.
Rest and serve
  1. Let the salsa rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator so the flavors meld.
  2. Stir again before serving and taste to adjust seasonings if needed.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Notes

Pro tip: dice the mango fairly small and keep the mixing gentle to preserve distinct mango cubes. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended because mango texture can soften. For a milder version, use half the jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes.
