Mango Salsa
Mango Salsa combines ripe diced mangoes with finely chopped jalapeño, red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and ground cumin for a fresh, fruity, and mildly spicy condiment. The salsa balances sweetness from mango with citrus brightness and subtle heat, making it a versatile topping or dip served alongside tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe Mango peeled, cored and diced (see note 1
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely chopped (see note 2)
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro see note 3, fresh, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
- salt
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add mango, jalapeños, onion, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, and salt to taste (I like 1/4 teaspoon). Stir to combine. Chill until serving time and serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a fruity aroma for best sweetness.
- Seeds of jalapeños can be included or omitted to adjust the salsa’s heat level.
- If you dislike cilantro, the salsa is still pleasant without it.
- Store leftover mango salsa covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
