Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing thoroughly and patting dry with clean kitchen towel.
- Peel the mangoes carefully, removing the skin completely. Cut the mango flesh away from the large central pit and dice into small, uniform cubes.
- Remove seeds from the jalapeño pepper and finely chop to control heat level. Use gloves if sensitive to pepper oils.
- Chop the red onion into fine, consistent pieces to ensure even distribution in the salsa.
- Add diced mangoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro into the blender.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice directly into the blender, ensuring no seeds fall into the mixture.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor profile of the salsa.
- Pulse the blender 4-5 times, creating a chunky salsa texture. Avoid over-blending to maintain some texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Transfer salsa to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled as a dip, topping, or accompaniment to Mexican dishes.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for the best flavor – they should give slightly when gently squeezed.
- Wear disposable gloves when handling jalapeños to prevent skin irritation from pepper oils.
- Control the heat by removing all or some of the jalapeño seeds depending on your spice tolerance.
- For the freshest taste, use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled.
- Pulse the blender gently to maintain a chunky texture – over-blending can turn your salsa into a puree.
- Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- This salsa is versatile – use it as a dip, taco topping, or even as a bright accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.
