Ingredients

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion or shallot, finely chopped (red onion preferred)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (substitute habanero for more spice)
  • ½ bell pepper, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lime, juiced (about 2 ½ teaspoons juice)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine. In a mixing bowl, add the diced mangoes, finely chopped onion or shallot, jalapeno pepper, chopped bell pepper, and fresh cilantro.
  2. Add minced garlic and seasonings. Incorporate the minced garlic along with the extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper into the bowl.
  3. Mix well. Gently stir all the ingredients together to ensure the flavors blend evenly without mashing the mango pieces.
  4. Serve or store. Serve the salsa immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  5. Enjoy. Use this mango salsa as a delightful topping for grilled dishes, a dip with chips, or as a fresh salad accent.

Notes

  • For extra heat, swap jalapeno with habanero peppers.
  • Use ripe, but firm mangoes to maintain texture.
  • Adjust lime juice and salt to taste based on preference.
  • This salsa can be refrigerated up to 5 days, but is best eaten fresh.
