Ingredients

  • 2 mangoes large, chopped (ripe and juicy!)
  • ½ red onion medium size, chopped finely
  • 1 Jalapeño with seeds, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes medium, seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon kashmiri chili powder can substitute with paprika
  • 1 lime for juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For chopping the mangoes, first slice off the "cheeks" on either side (you'll have to feel around for the core). Then use a small paring knife to slice around the core. Then use a spoon to scoop the mango out of it's skin, and then slice into small, even pieces. Dice half a red onion and a jalapeno. Remove the seeds and chop up two tomatoes into small pieces. Rough chop the cilantro into small pieces.
  2. Throw the sliced mangoes, tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions and cilantro into a mixing bowl and give it a quick stir to combine.
  3. Add a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of red chili powder, and squeeze a full lime into the salsa bowl and mix well. Adjust this to your taste.
  4. Chill the salsa for about 30 minutes (optional) and serve!

Notes

  • Make sure the mango is ripe (based on how it yields to touch, similar to a ripe avocado) - this will ensure it's sweet and delicious 
  • Chop all the ingredients consistently - it's helpful to mix them all nicely and gives the salsa good texture overall 
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste - both salt and red chili powder. I use Kashmiri red chili powder which is quite potent. Taste as you go to make sure it's perfect! 
  • I add one jalapeno, but keep the seeds in for a kick. You can omit this, or add up to 2-3 jalapenos in this recipe depending on your spice tolerance  
  • Have leftover salsa that's gone soft? Just puree it up and pour it on your next fish dish, or use it as a salad dressing even!
