5 Minute Mango Salsa


  • Author: Kristi McCollom
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1/4 cups 1x

Description

It’s sweet and tangy with just the right amount of bite! No added sugar, citric acid or preservatives bogging down this homemade salsa.  Just a handful of fresh produce made with love.


Ingredients

Scale

a quarter of a large fresh mango- cubed (about 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes- chopped

2 Tbsp red onion

1 Tbsp parsley or cilantro

1 Tbsp lime juice

salt to taste

honey (optional)

jalapeno (optional)


Instructions

  1. Chop the mango and tomato into very small bite size pieces.
  2. Mince the red onion.
  3. Rough chop the parsley/cilantro.
  4. Toss the above chopped ingredients with lime juice and salt to taste.  Add a small squeeze of honey for extra sweetness or finely chopped, seeded jalapeño for some spice IF DESIRED.

Notes

This salsa tastes great the moment it is made.  However, if you have the time, definitely allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more.  This allows the flavors to develop, and the salsa becomes a bit juicier. Yum!

This recipe makes a little over a cup of salsa.  It was perfect for spooning over 4 servings of salmon.  But we had no leftover salsa.  Double the recipe if feeding more than 4 or if you plan on eating with chips etc.  You’ll be glad for the extra!
