Mango Salsa

I love mango and when they're fresh and ripe, I usually buy them. In addition to just cutting and tossing it into green salad, I also often prepare this salsa in the summer. It's great with most grilled dishes, especially pork, chicken, fish and seafood.

What you need

  1. 2 fresh mango, peeled, sliced and chopped
  2. 1-2 jalapeno peppers, finely minced
  3. 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  4. 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  5. 2 cloves garlic, mashed
  6. Salt & Black pepper

How to make it

  1. Mango has a very large seed inside. I peel the fruit with a vegetable peeler, then holding it firmly over a bowl, I cut lengthwise with a paring knife all around to cut away the flesh. About halfway around, I turn the fruit over and do the rest. You'll see what I mean the first time you try it. I've seen all sorts of fancy ways to do this, but my way works for me. Then I cut the slices into 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, stir and let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes, stirring once or twice
