I first tasted this mango salsa some years ago when my mother paired it with her famous honey-glazed salmon. It was refreshing both in concept and taste! The combination of sweet mango and spicy jalapeño provides a flavorful respite from the heat of the summer sun. Savor it with tortilla chips, fresh seafood, pork or poultry dishes and prepare to be transported to an exotic island with a cool tropical breeze. Be sure to stay tuned for more recipes inspired by one of my favorite tropical fruits and join in on the mango mania!

Sweet + spicy = perfect recipe for salsa!

Ingredients:
2 large mangos peeled and flesh cubed (mangos should be ripe, but still firm)

½ small purple onion diced
½ bunch fresh cilantro minced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 orange freshly squeezed
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Preparation:

  1. Mix mangoes, jalapeños, onion, and cilantro in a bowl.
  2. Sprinkle with red wine vinegar and fresh orange juice, then toss once again.
  3. Add salt, cover, and chill until ready to serve.

*Note: You may remove the veins and seeds from the jalapeño or serrano chile peppers to reduce the heat level of your salsa.
