Mango Salsa 101

Though there isn't much to say about the dish, balance of ingredients and produce selection is key.

Be sure to source fresh produce from your neighborhood grocery store:

  • Ensure that your mangoes are ripe but still firm *allows for a seamless dice.

  • Red bell peppers & onions are crisp and without blemish

  • Citrus fruits are fresh and filled with juice.

Pro tip: try rolling your limes onto a counter top using the palm of your hand to get those juices flowing
  • Season well with salt, this simple ingredient makes a complete difference. Salt brightens flavors and enhances subtle notes.

  • Herbs like cilantro are fresh and bright in color, no sign of wilting.

Pro tip: dampen a paper towel, then wrap it around the stems of the herbs. This moisture preserves freshness.
 

"This salsa perfect on its own, eaten as a snack alongside crispy tortilla chips or as a condiment atop your favorite salmon or tacos."
