  • Author: Amanda

Ingredients

To make the perfect sweet & spicy mango salsa, gather the following fresh ingredients:

  • Ripe Mangoes: 2 large, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • Jalapeños: 1-2, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • Red Bell Pepper: 1, finely diced
  • Red Onion: 1 small, finely diced
  • Cilantro: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
  • Lime: 1, juiced
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Garlic: 1 clove, minced (optional)
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon (optional for added richness)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own sweet & spicy mango salsa:

  1. Prepare the Mangoes: Begin by peeling and pitting the mangoes. Dice them into small, even cubes for a uniform texture.
  2. Chop the Vegetables: Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion. Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeños, adjusting the quantity of jalapeños based on your spice preference.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Toss them together gently to mix.
  4. Add Seasonings: Add the lime juice, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to the mango mixture. If you prefer a slightly richer flavor, drizzle in the olive oil.
  5. Mix Thoroughly: Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the lime juice and seasonings are evenly distributed.
  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt to balance the flavors to your liking.
  7. Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
