Fresh Mango Salsa Recipe

Fresh Mango Salsa is a tropical twist on the traditional salsa. It’s a delightful mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors that can elevate any dish. Perfect as a dip for tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, this salsa is sure to be a hit at any gathering.

Ingredients:

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1-2 jalapeños, seeds removed and finely diced (adjust to your heat preference)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt, to taste
Optional: 1 red bell pepper, diced, for added color and crunch
Optional: 1/2 cucumber, diced, for a refreshing touch

Instructions:

Prepare Mangoes: Start by peeling the mangoes. Slice the flesh off the sides, avoiding the central seed. Dice the mango flesh into small, bite-sized pieces.
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, diced jalapeños, and optional bell pepper or cucumber if you’re using them.
Seasoning: Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Add salt according to your taste and gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
Incorporate Cilantro: Sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro over the salsa and fold it in, ensuring an even distribution.
Chill & Serve: For best flavors, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld together. Serve it as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.

Tips:

If you’re unsure about the heat level, start with one jalapeño and adjust according to your preference.
Ensure your mangoes are ripe but still firm. Overripe mangoes might make the salsa too mushy, while unripe mangoes won’t provide the desired sweetness.

Fresh Mango Salsa is a vibrant and flavorful addition to any meal. Its combination of sweet mangoes, spicy jalapeños, tangy lime, and aromatic cilantro promises a mouthful of excitement with every bite. Whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ, a taco night, or just looking for a zesty snack, this salsa won’t disappoint!
