Ingredients

  • 1 ripe Mango
  • 1 Jalapeño
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1/2 Lime Juiced
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Tajin (Optional)

Prepare the mangoes: Peel the ripe mangoes and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a mixing bowl.

Whole Mango

A mango that has been diced into little cubes.

Chop the vegetables: Finely chop the tomato, red onion, and jalapeño pepper, ensuring they are all finely diced for a consistent texture. Add to the mixing bowl.

A roma tomato diced up finely.
1/4 of a red onion diced up finely.
One jalapeño diced up finely.

Mix it up: Add the chopped tomato, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl with the diced mangoes. Gently toss the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to meld.

Citrus infusion: Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lime over the mango salsa mixture, giving it a delightful tang. The lime juice enhances the sweetness of the mangoes and adds a refreshing element.

Season to taste: Season the salsa with salt and pepper, adjusting the amounts according to your preference. Remember, a little kick of spice can elevate the overall flavor profile! I love to top mine with Tajin to give it just a little bit of a kick or you can add cayenne pepper as well!

Let it chill: Allow the flavors to meld together by refrigerating the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This step intensifies the taste and allows the ingredients to harmonize beautifully.
