Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes – diced into small cubes
- 1/2 red onion – finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper – diced
- 1–2 jalapeños – finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro – chopped
- 1 lime – juiced
- Salt – to taste
- Pepper – to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes into small cubes. Make sure to choose ripe mangoes that are soft to the touch. The flesh should be juicy and sweet to create that perfect salsa texture.
Step 2: Chop the Vegetables
Next, finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeños. If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeños. For a milder version, remove the seeds before chopping.
Step 3: Add Fresh Cilantro
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the bowl with the mangoes and vegetables. The fresh cilantro will add a burst of herbaceous flavor that balances the sweetness of the mango.
Step 4: Season with Lime, Salt, and Pepper
Squeeze the lime over the salsa and season with salt and pepper to taste. The lime juice will bring a zesty tang that complements the sweetness of the mangoes.
Step 5: Optional Sweetener
If you like a slightly sweeter salsa, drizzle in a tablespoon of honey. Stir everything together, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
