Creating the perfect Spicy & Sweet Mango Jalapeño Salsa revolves around achieving a harmonious balance between the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes and the fiery heat of jalapeños. The key lies in selecting the right ripeness of mangoes; they should be soft to the touch, vibrant in color, and fragrant. Overripe mangoes may lead to an overly sweet salsa, while under-ripe ones can lend an unwelcome tartness.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

2 jalapeños, seeds removed and finely minced (adjust for heat preference)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt, to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, minced jalapeños, and diced red bell pepper. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

    Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl. A good mix of sweetness and heat comes from the jalapeños and the freshness of cilantro.

      Squeeze the juice of the two limes over the mixture. This will add acidity and enhance the flavors.

        Incorporate the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the salsa. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.

          Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with extra salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat, depending on your preference.

            Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

              Serve with tortilla chips, grilled fish, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
