Mango Salsa

Mango Salsa

For as much as I love mangoes I don’t cook with them that much. Usually I just eat them fresh. I had several ripe mangoes and decided I wanted to do something more with them. Since we’ve been grilling more lately I went with this mango salsa. Like any salsa you can enjoy it with chips, but I love it as a topper for grilled meats, especially poultry or pork. Really good on grilled duck breast. I have also added it to cold rice for a mango salsa rice salad.

Mango Salsa

2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and diced

1/2 c. minced sweet onion

1/2 c, minced sweet pepper

2-3 T. chopped fresh cilantro

1 T. hot sauce, or to taste

zest and juice from 1 lime

salt and pepper to taste, don’t be afraid to give this dish a good bit of salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until mixed. Check seasonings. Chill for at least 30 minutes and taste again- you will likely add more seasoning. Serve over grilled meats or with chips.
