Instructions
Prepare the mangoes: Peel and dice the mangoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the vegetables: Finely chop the red onion, dice the red bell pepper, and mince the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). Add them to the bowl with the mangoes.
Add herbs and seasoning: Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Mix gently: Toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the mango pieces.
Let it rest: Cover the bowl and let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Give the salsa a final stir before serving. Enjoy with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
Chef's Tips
- Ripe Mangoes: Use ripe but firm mangoes for the best texture and sweetness.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the heat. For extra spice, leave some seeds in.
- Make Ahead: This salsa tastes even better if made a few hours ahead, allowing flavors to develop.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Variations: Add diced avocado or cucumber for extra creaminess or crunch.
