Ingredients:

  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (approximately 250g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced (approximately 150g)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced (approximately 150g)
  • ½ red onion, finely diced (approximately 50g)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) (approximately 15g)
  • 1-2 serrano peppers, seeded and minced (optional, adjust to taste) (approximately 5-10g)
  • Juice of 2 limes (approximately 60ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (3g)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1g)

Instructions:

  1. Dice the mango, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into small, evenly sized pieces. Mince the serrano pepper (if using).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and serrano pepper (if using).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the mango and bell pepper mixture. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional, but it definitely enhances the salsa.
  6. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to your liking. If you want more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  7. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
