Quick + Easy 5-Ingredient Mango Jalapeño Salsa
Description
The salsa brings together chopped mango and bell pepper with finely diced jalapeño, which can be adjusted for heat by including or removing seeds and veins. Fresh lime juice adds acidity to complement the sweetness of the mango and the mild bitterness of the bell pepper. Cilantro provides a fresh herbaceous note, and sea salt enhances all the flavors. The textures range from soft mango chunks to crunchy bell pepper pieces, yielding a refreshing balance.
This salsa serves well paired with chips, as a topping for grilled meats or fish, or as a condiment alongside Mexican-inspired dishes. The cooling mango tempers the jalapeño heat, making the salsa approachable for a range of spice preferences.
For additional flavor variation, finely chopped red onion can be stirred in to introduce a pungent bite. This option allows you to customize the salsa to your taste while keeping it quick and straightforward.
