Mangos are in season in South Florida and everyone I know with a tree in their yard has sent me some!
This is a simple recipe and works best with ripe mangos of mostly any type. Just chop or dice ingredients and combine. Delicious!
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 red bell pepper
- 1/4 red onion
- fresh jalapeno to taste
- 2 tsp fresh cilantro
- lime juice from small fresh lime to taste
- Dash of salt
*A note about jalapenos: their spice level varies greatly so it’s hard to say with specificity how much you should use and, of course, it depends on your tolerance for heat in your food. I’ve found the larger the size of the jalapeno, the milder it tends to be. If it’s spicy I’d use 1/4 of the jalapeno, when it’s mild I use an entire one.
If you want to make a bigger batch, use 3 mangos, 1 red onion, 1 red pepper, 1 jalapeno, 1 tbsp cilantro, juice of one lime, and 3/4 tsp salt.
