Cuisine: Caribbean
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and prepare all fresh ingredients. Select ripe, fragrant mangoes that yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Carefully peel the mangoes using a sharp knife, removing the skin completely. Slice the mango flesh away from the large central pit.
- Dice the mango into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure consistent texture and flavor distribution.
- Carefully seed and mince the jalapeño, removing the white membranes to control heat level. Use gloves to protect your hands from capsaicin.
- Measure the lime juice precisely, ensuring fresh, bright citrus flavor that will complement the sweet mangoes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and honey.
- Gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring even coating and distribution of flavors. Avoid mashing the mango pieces.
- Cover the mixture and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or honey to balance the sweet and tangy profile.
- Serve chilled as a salsa, side dish, or tropical accompaniment to grilled proteins or as a refreshing standalone dish.
Tips
- • Choose mangoes that are ripe but still firm – look for a slight give when gently pressed and a fragrant, sweet aroma at the stem. • Wear disposable gloves when handling jalapeños to prevent skin irritation from capsaicin. • For a consistent flavor profile, dice mangoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. • Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and intensify. • Adjust heat levels by removing more or fewer jalapeño seeds. • Serve chilled for maximum flavor impact and refreshing taste. • This versatile dish works as a salsa, side dish, or topping for grilled proteins. • For best results, use fresh lime juice and high-quality honey.
