Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe mangoes
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small jalapeño (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and slice the red onion into thin, half-moon-shaped slices. Add the onion to the bowl with the mango.

Step 3

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

If using jalapeño, finely chop it (removing seeds for less heat) and add it to the salad.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the mango and red onion mixture and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt to taste.

Step 8

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
