Received a really RIPE mango from one of the neighbors on Friday and we made a mango salsa for dinner this evening, which was excellent! Got the basic recipe off Simply Recipes, and made a couple small changes. We had grilled chicken with the salsa, white and wild rice, and a green salad.
Mango Salsa
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 1 1/2 cup mango)
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 Jalapeno chili (we put in two small red chilis we grew in our garden) (no seeds or ribs, unless you like it HOT!)
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
3T fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3T fresh lime juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
I added 1/2 green and 1/2 red diced bell peppers
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. If the salsa is too hot or too acidic, add some diced avocado.
