Ingredients

  • 1 large Mango or 2 small, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 Jalapeño seeded & minced
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Hold the mango upright and slice off the two "cheeks" on either side of the pit. Score the flesh in a crisscross pattern without cutting through the peel. Use a spoon to scoop out the mango cubes. Dice them into ¼ inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.
  2. Dice the red pepper, mince the red onion, and seed and mince the jalapeno. Add them to the bowl with the mango.
  3. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture. Add chopped cilantro, olive oil, cumin, and salt to taste.
  4. Gently toss all the ingredients until well combined and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  5. Serve with tortilla chips or over grilled chicken or fish.

Notes

  • Heat level: Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your preferred spice level. Remove seeds for milder salsa.
  • Make ahead: Refrigerate salsa for a few hours or up to overnight before serving.
  • Get creative: Try adding diced avocado, cucumber, or a splash of pineapple juice for a unique twist.
  • Storage: Store salsa in a covered container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Stir before serving again.
