Mango salsa recipe Mango salsa recipe • Mango salsa is something I don't make very often, but it's a lovely change from salsa or guacamole. This is a nice base recipe for it once you've made it you can customize it very easy. • Cucumber, jicama and red pepper also add great flavor to this mango salsa recipe if you're craving more fruits and veggies! • This salsa is amazing with grilled meat of any kind or blackened chicken, but normally I just eat a whole bowl by myself with some chips Step 1: Ingredients • 2 ripe mangos • 1/4 - 1/2 red onion • 1-2 jalapeno or serrano peppers • fresh lemon or lime juice • salt • fresh cilantro to taste • cayenne pepper to taste (optional but awesome) Riper is better when it comes to mangos - too underripe and the salsa will end up very sour. Make sure they're a little soft to the touch. I prefer lemon juice here because lime is slightly sweeter. Step 2: Dice everything finely I cut up a whole jalapeno and a little less than 1/2 an onion. For the mangos, cut off the mango cheeks and cut the mango while it's still in the skin as shown - get as close to the skin as possible with the tip of the knife! Then use a spoon to scoop out the cut mango. If the mango is coming out still attached at the base, don't go as deep with the spoon. There will be a little mango left in the skin like in photo 3. Step 2: Dice everything finely Step 3: Mix it all together • Put all the diced ingredients into a bowl. • Add a handful of chopped cilantro (no stems!) and a good pinch of salt. Then squeeze the juice of half a lemon on top. • Mix this all together. Step 4: Final seasonings
