Mangoes are the star of this salsa, bringing natural sweetness and a juicy texture that forms the base of the dish. Make sure to use ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
Red onion adds a sharp bite that contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the mangoes.
Red bell pepper contributes a mild sweetness and a pop of color, enhancing the visual appeal of the salsa.
Mint leaves provide a cool, refreshing note that elevates the tropical theme.
Lime juice adds a tangy brightness that ties all the flavors together, ensuring the salsa isn't overly sweet.
Salt enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients, bringing out the best in each bite.
Jalapeno offers a spicy kick to the salsa. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.
Cilantro adds a fresh, herbal note, complementing the mint and lime perfectly.
Olive oil provides a subtle richness that helps blend the flavors smoothly.
This salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish, adding a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors. It also works great as a topping for tacos, or simply serve it as a dip with tortilla chips for a delightful appetizer.
Start by dicing the mangoes into small cubes. This is the base of our salsa, so aim for a size that’s easy to scoop with a chip. Place the diced mango in a large mixing bowl.
Next, finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl. The onion adds a savory depth that balances the sweetness of the mango.
Now, dice the red bell pepper and toss it into the mix. This will add a lovely crunch and color to your salsa.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and cilantro. Add these to the bowl, and enjoy the fragrant aroma that starts to develop as you mix them in.
If you’re up for a little heat, mince the jalapeno and add it to the bowl. Remember to seed it if you prefer a milder salsa.
Drizzle the mixture with fresh lime juice and olive oil. This will not only add flavor but also help the ingredients meld together.
Sprinkle with salt, then gently stir everything to combine. Be careful not to mash the mangoes; you want to keep everything intact.
Finally, cover the bowl and chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to come together beautifully.
