Equipment

mixing bowl
chopping knife
cutting board

Ingredients

2 cups mango (about 2-3 fresh chopped mangos)
1/2 cup sweet peppers (chopped)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1/4 cup green onion (finely chopped – scallions or sweet red onion)
1–2 tbsp jalapeño pepper (finely chopped – remove seeds for less spice)
1 pc lime (juice)
1/4 tspn salt (or, to taste!)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine mango, peppers, onion, and jalapeños.
Gently toss ingredients until mixed.
Add the lime juice, salt, and cilantro and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

This mango cilantro salsa is best served right away. If you want to make ahead, layer the mangos on the bottom of the mixing bowl and place the other ingredients on top. Do not mix until ready to serve. (The mangos will begin to soften and release juices over time once chopped.)
This recipe tastes amazing with fresh peaches! You can substitute all or some of the mango with peaches for variety or to enjoy in season fruit.
Add fresh avocado for a healthy fat add in and deliciousness.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
