Instructions
- Finely dice the tomatoes, red bell pepper and onion. Mix the diced veggies in a large bowl and strain off any tomato juice.
- Peel the mangoes. Then cut the mango flesh into small cubes and add to the diced veggies.
- Finely chop the spicy habanero – you can deseed and devein the habanero for a milder salsa.
- Add the fresh cilantro, lime juice and half of the habanero to the bowl of diced veggies along with ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine and have a try. Add the rest of the habanero if you are happy with the extra heat and adjust salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For a smooth and spicy mango sauce, you can use the same ingredients to make roasted mango habanero salsa.
- I love to use multi-coloured heirloom tomatoes for a colourful salsa. But you can use sweet cherry tomatoes or finely diced Roma tomatoes.
- Habaneros are very spicy. I add one habanero chile for every sweet mango. But, if it's your first time making this mango salsa, start with half a habanero per mango. Then, add the second (and third) after tasting. And, always wear gloves when handling fresh spicy chiles!
- This quick and easy mango habanero salsa is best served on the day it's made, but you can refrigerate leftover salsa in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Strain off excess moisture before serving.
