Mango Salsa

[nbermas]

Any good recipes?

[P Macias]

My recipe very similar to Sarah P. Always add avocados.
We call it salad instead of salsa?

[QueenB]

Diced mango, finely diced red onion, diced red pepper, minced jalepeno, chopped cilantro, juice of one lime, pinch of cumin and salt, healthy crack of black pepper. Mix together and let sit for a bit before serving.

[Sarah P]

Ingredients
2 avocados, cut in 1/4-inch diced
2 mangoes, cut in 1/4-inch diced
Juice of 2 Limes
1/4 C. minced red onion
1 Garlic clove, minced fine
1/4 C. minced cilantro
2 Jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced (optional)
Sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

In a medium glass bowl (not metal), mix the diced avocado, diced mango, lime juice, jalapenos, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 1 hour before serving. The fruit will begin to "cook" in the lime juice and become soggy.

I just made one last night with mango, black beans, radishes (would have loved to try jicama), hot red chili pepper (red hot chili pepper?), lime juice, a little cayenne, & salt. about to have it for lunch now! I like the crispness of the radishes contrasting with the soft texture of the mango.

I came up with a mango salsa recipe (linked below). Whole Foods has one that I fell in love with, so I modeled it after that.

Diced mango, jalapeno/habanero, and red onion, orange juice (1/2 cup), lime zest from one lime, drained black beans, cilantro. yum.

What would you like to serve with it?

Schlesinger's Thrill of the Grill" has a great mango salsa recipe. Copyrighted so here's a link to the recipe:

Coarsely chopped mango (or peaches, papayas, or nectarines), lemon juice, sugar, cumin seeds and cilantro. Let it sit a while so the flavors mix. It's just lovely.

[valerie]

This is a great recipe...similar to what others have said.

I like it as others have suggested, but also with the addition of diced pineapple. This works great with citrus glazed chicken or fish.

[hungry in carrboro]

These suggestions all sound great, and pretty similar to what I'd recommend so I won't add to them. HOWEVER - and this is surely common knowledge among you experienced cooks and chowhounders, but just in case - I learned the hard way that you should wear gloves while cutting the jalapeno peppers, especially if you plan on taking your contacts out later in the evening!! :(

A third is probably redundant: diced mango, cucumber, poblano, jalapeno, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, pepper.

I have been addicted to mango salsa so far this sumer! I agree with Holy Chow for the most part:

Dice mango, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt. Sometimes I've added some minced red onion, sometimes I've added chopped cucumber, usually no tomato for my version.

Try it with panko-crusted fish - the spiciness of the pepper, the sweetness of the mango, it is just absolutely divine!

[nicoleberry83]

This is exactly what I do! I do cucumber, mango, red onion, cilantro, lime, serrano, and a splash of vinegar to cut the sweetness. I serve w/tortilla-crusted tilapia. Sooooo tasty.

[laurendlewis]

Tortilla crusted or tortilla chip crusted? Do you just crush them like you would make breadcrumbs?

[holy chow]

Dice mango, onion, peppers, tomatoes and sometimes banana with cilantro, salt and lime juice. Make it hot as the sweet from the fruit will help counter the bite. Sometimes I also add cucumber to this.

It is great with fish and chicken or even on its own.

It's actually the acid that counters the spice, so if you want the flavor from the hot peppers, balance it out with the acid to make it suitable to your palette. Lime juice is a great choice for that.
