Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1–2 fresh habanero peppers, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango and Peppers: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small, even pieces for a balanced texture. Carefully remove seeds from the habanero peppers, then finely chop to control the chili heat throughout the salsa.
  2. Chop the Aromatics: Finely dice the red onion and mince fresh cilantro. If using garlic, mince it thoroughly to ensure it blends smoothly with the other flavors.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, habanero, onion, cilantro, and garlic. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and add a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste your Mango Habanero Salsa and adjust the salt or lime juice to balance the sweetness and heat. For more kick, add extra chopped habanero bit by bit.
  5. Chill and Serve: Allow the salsa to chill for at least 10 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve fresh to enjoy the best texture and vibrant taste.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mangoes for natural sweetness and to avoid adding sugar.
  • Use gloves when handling habanero peppers to prevent skin irritation.
  • Adjust the heat level gradually by adding habanero peppers bit by bit.
  • Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator to allow flavors to blend well.
  • Always use fresh lime juice over bottled for best flavor brightness.
