This mango salsa is made with sweet, ripe mangoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime. It has a terrific sweet and spicy tang with a tropical flair that works well with your favorite seafood or tortilla chips!
NOTE:
For some variations to this recipe fold in a cup of either some finely diced cucumber, red bell pepper, or jicama. It's also great with avocado!
It will be easier to dice a mango that is still a bit firm, ripe, but not too soft. See How to Cut a Mango for tips.
Add less or more jalapeño to taste. Make sure to actually taste a little first. Some of them can be quite hot!
