Description

Mango salsa is a sweet and spicy salsa made with fresh mangoes, red onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lemon juice.

Ingredients
  • 3 Semi-ripe sweet and firm mangoes
  • 1 Medium size red onion
  • 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro (Finely chopped)
  • 1.5 tsp Sugar (Adjust as per taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Chili / Paprika powder
  • 2 Jalapenos (Deseeded)
  • 3 tsp Lime or lemon juice
Instructions
  1. 1
    Equipment needed

    Sharp knife and a mixing bowl

     

  2. 2
    Preparing the mangoes
    • Choose mangoes that are semi-ripe, firm, and not fibrous.
    • I prefer mangoes that are slightly sweet but still have a hint of sourness and that are not fully ripe yet
    • Wash the mangoes
    • Remove the skin with a knife
    • Separate the mango pulp from the seed using a knife
    • Dice the mango flesh into small cubes of 1 cm. 
    • Try to keep the diced mango pieces intact and not turn them mushy. We want our salsa to look chunky.
  3. 3
    Prepare other vegetables
    • Dice the onions
    • Slice the Jalapenos in half and remove all seeds. Dice the Jalapenos.
    • If you don't get Jalapenos, you may replace them with half the number of Thai or Indian green chilies or you may completely skip it. Just watch out for the spiciness of chilis.
    • Chop the Cilantro
