Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes peeled and diced.
- 1 cup of red bell pepper diced.
- 1/2 cup of red onion chopped small.
- 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves minced.

- 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
- 1 tablespoon of good olive oil.
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Instructions
Prep the Mangoes
- First, peel your mangoes carefully. Cut the fruit away from the stone. Dice the fruit into small cubes. Place them into your big bowl.
Chop the Vegetables
- Dice your red pepper into small bits. Chop the red onion very finely. This ensures a bit in every bite. Add these to the mangoes.
Add the Heat
- Take your jalapeño and remove the seeds. Mince the pepper into tiny pieces. Add it to the bowl slowly. You can add more for extra spice.
Mix in the Herbs
- Chop the fresh mint and cilantro leaves. They add a very cool, fresh scent. Toss them in with the fruit.
Add Liquid Ingredients
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice over everything. Pour in the high-quality olive oil. This helps the flavors blend well.
Season and Toss
- Sprinkle the salt and black pepper on top. Use your large spoon to mix gently. Do not mash the mango pieces.
Let it Rest
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for thirty minutes. This makes the juices come out.
Notes
- Use Ripe Fruit: Make sure mangoes feel slightly soft.
- Uniform Cuts: Cut everything into the same small size.
- Fresh Herbs Only: Do not use dried mint or cilantro.
- Adjust the Spice: Remove all seeds for a mild taste.
- Cold Serving: Always serve this salsa very cold.
- Quality Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for flavor.
- Let it Marinate: Chilling improves the taste a lot.
