Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 mango (peeled and diced, about 2 cups)
- 1 cup jicama (peeled and diced)
- 1 jalapeno (adjust more or less to taste)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the diced mango, jicama, finely chopped cilantro, diced onion, and jalapeno to a mixing bowl. Pour in the lime juice, then sprinkle with sea salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Gently stir all ingredients to combine evenly, making sure the lime juice and salt are well distributed throughout the salsa.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste your salsa and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed. Modify the amount of jalapeno depending on desired spiciness, keeping in mind that the heat intensifies after resting due to the release of oils from the pepper.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before dicing.
- Allow the salsa to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld together.
- This salsa can be served with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos and salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
