This fresh mango salsa is a vibrant and refreshing condiment perfect for adding a burst of tropical flavor to your meals. Made with juicy ripe mangos, crisp red bell pepper, zesty red onion, fresh cilantro, and a touch of jalapeño for heat, all balanced with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Ideal as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or served with chips as a delicious appetizer.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe mangos, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 large lime, juiced (about ¼ cup lime juice)
  • to ¼ teaspoon salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the ripe mangos, chop the red bell pepper and red onion, finely chop the cilantro leaves, and seed and mince the jalapeño carefully to control the heat.
  2. Combine salsa ingredients: In a serving bowl, add the diced mango, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture.
  3. Mix and season: Use a large spoon to stir all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring the lime juice coats everything evenly. Season with salt to taste and stir once more.
  4. Let flavors meld: For the best flavor, allow the salsa to rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before serving. This resting time enhances the taste by allowing the ingredients to blend beautifully.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your preferred spice level.
  • Make sure the mangoes are ripe for optimal sweetness and juiciness.
  • This salsa can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but is freshest when served the same day.
  • Great as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, tacos, or served with tortilla chips.
