Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and drying the fresh produce thoroughly.
- Dice the ripe mango into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size, ensuring no tough skin remains.
- Carefully remove seeds and membranes from red and yellow bell peppers, then dice them into small, consistent pieces matching the mango size.
- If using fresh corn, cook and cool the kernels. If using canned corn, drain and rinse thoroughly.
- Finely chop the red onion into small, delicate pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the salsa.
- Wash and chop fresh cilantro, including tender stems, to release maximum aromatic oils.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced mango, red and yellow bell peppers, corn, and red onion.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice directly over the mixed ingredients to add brightness and prevent fruit browning.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, gently folding all ingredients to ensure even distribution.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
- Serve chilled as a vibrant accompaniment to grilled meats, fish tacos, or as a fresh appetizer with tortilla chips.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe mango that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant taste.
- For maximum flavor, let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow ingredients to marry.
- Dice all ingredients uniformly to ensure a consistent texture and even flavor distribution.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
- This salsa is best consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness and crunch.
- Serve chilled for the most refreshing experience, especially during warm spring and summer days.
