Holy crap it is HOT outside! I can't think of a better way to cool down than to eat some fresh homemade mango salsa, chips, and wash it all down with a frosty glass of beer.
I don't know about you, but every time I buy store-bought mango salsa, it never seems like the mangos were ripe enough when they made it. When mangos are not fully ripened, they have a bit of a sour and flat flavor. Ripe mangoes should be a bit soft to the touch--kind of like a ripe avocado and they should almost have the texture of a ripe peach when you eat them. So here is my recipe! This would be great to share with friends on the 4th of July!
Ingredients
Serves 4-6
- 1 large extra ripe mango diced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1 tbs of finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tbs of finely minced red onion
- 1 small finely minced jalapeno (take out the seeds and the white membrane for a more mild heat intensity)
- 1 tbs finely minced red bell pepper
- 1 tsp of organic agave (do not substitute with honey--you want the sweetness to have a neutral flavor).
