Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 small red onion
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 medium lime
• 1 jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Dice the mango flesh into small, bite-sized cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the mangoes.

Step 3

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture.

Step 4

Cut the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and inner membrane if you prefer milder heat, then finely dice the pepper. Add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Roll the lime on the countertop to help release its juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Ensure no seeds fall in.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mixture with salt and black pepper, then gently toss all the ingredients together to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño for desired flavor.

Step 8

Let the salsa rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately with chips, tacos, or grilled proteins, or chill it in the fridge for later use.
