Ingredients
- 3 fresh mangoes (cut into chunks)
- 1 red pepper (diced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Jalapeño (finely diced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Drizzle of honey
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, place cubed fresh mango. See the notes section on how to cut a mango. Add red pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and salt. Drizzle with honey and toss together.
- Taste for seasonings and add more salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or place it on top of shrimp or chicken tacos.
Notes
- Use your senses! First, gently pick up and touch the mango. I would suggest slightly pressing on the mango to see if it slightly gives. If it doesn't give it at all and is hard as a rock, it is not ripe. Try to find softer mangoes where their flesh is ripe and sweet.
- Also, use your sense of smell by picking up the mango and smelling it at the stem to see if you can pick up on its fruity notes. A ripe mango definitely has a beautiful fruity fragrance.
- Mangoes can ripen so leave them out on your counter at room temperature for a few days and keep checking them.
- The easiest way to cut a mango when making homemade mango salsa, is to cut it alongside the center of the pit. You don't even need to peel the mango. Just run a sharp knife lengthwise down the mango. You will feel the hard pit in the center. Cut each side of the mango and then take a small pairing knife and score the fresh mango by carefully running the knife in a grid-type pattern to make mango cubes. You don't want to cut all the way through the mango skin, just the flesh part. Now, take a spoon and scoop out the scored mangoes.
