Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling your ripe mangos, then dice them into bite-sized pieces. Next, chop the red bell pepper, green onions, and jalapeño, then finely chop the cilantro, adding all these components to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Gently toss the diced ingredients together in the bowl using a spatula or large spoon, ensuring that the mangos are evenly distributed. The combination of colors should be eye-catching.
  3. Taste your salsa and hold each flavor on your palate. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, sprinkle in salt and black pepper to season. Stir well and keep tasting until you reach the perfect flavor balance.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Once chilled, give the salsa a gentle stir before serving. This Mango Salsa pairs perfectly with fish tacos or can be enjoyed as a dip with tortilla chips.
