Ingredients

  • 2 cups Mango diced (about 1 large or 2 small mangos)
  • Juice and zest of one lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper seeds removed and finely chopped (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. For best results, allow to sit covered in refrigerator for at least two hours before eating.
  3. Serve on tacos, with tortilla chips, or spooned on top of grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.

Notes

  • Cutting a mango is easy! Here's a tutorial for how to peel and cut a mango.
  • If you like spicy, leave the seeds from the jalapeño pepper in. It will already be slightly spicy without the seeds, but leaving them will take it up a notch or two.
  • Not a fan of cilantro? Leave it out or replace with basil, mint, chives, or scallions.
  • Using a not-quite-ripe mango: If your mango isn't quite ripe, or if you just have a bit of a sweet tooth, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the mix. I recommend whisking it in the bottom of a large bowl with the lime juice and salt until it's dissolved, then tossing the remaining ingredients with it, so it coats everything evenly.
