A fresh and vibrant 5-minute mango salsa that's easy to prepare and perfect as a topping or dip. Combining juicy mango with red bell pepper, onions, and a hint of heat from habanero, this salsa is brightened with lime juice and fresh herbs, making it an ideal complement for tacos, chips, and grilled dishes.

Ingredients

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 1 mango, diced (about 2 cups)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • 1 small Habanero pepper, seeds removed and diced finely

Seasonings and Herbs

  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • ¼ cup parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes for garnish
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, finely diced habanero pepper, lime juice, and chopped parsley or cilantro into a mixing bowl. Gently toss all ingredients together to evenly distribute flavors.
  2. Season to Taste: Taste the salsa mixture and add salt and black pepper according to preference. Mix again to incorporate the seasonings thoroughly.
  3. Chill and Blend Flavors: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Serve: Garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat and serve chilled with your favorite dishes like tuna tacos, tortilla chips, or grilled meats.

Notes

  • For less heat, reduce the amount of habanero pepper or omit the seeds.
  • This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness; avoid bottled lime juice for best flavor.
  • Use either parsley or cilantro depending on your taste preference; cilantro gives a more traditional salsa flavor.
  • Perfect as a healthy, low-calorie condiment that is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
