Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Choose mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. Peel and dice into small, uniform pieces about 1/4-inch in size.
  2. Finely chop the red bell pepper and red onion to match your mango pieces. Rinse the diced onion under cold water for thirty seconds to mellow its sharpness.
  3. Remove seeds from the jalapeño before mincing to control the spice level. Wash your hands thoroughly afterward or wear gloves.
  4. Gently fold all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add lime juice and salt, then taste and adjust seasonings.
  5. Allow the vegan mango salsa to rest for at least ten minutes before serving to let the flavors marry beautifully.

Notes

Choose mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. Dice all ingredients uniformly for best texture. Rinse diced onion under cold water to mellow sharpness. Allow salsa to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add lime juice just before serving to prevent watery texture. Freezing not recommended as it breaks down mango texture.
