Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 ripe peach, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Carefully wash all fresh produce thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or potential contaminants.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the ripe mango around the pit. Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern and scoop out the diced pieces into a medium mixing bowl.
- Prepare the peach by cutting around the pit and dicing the flesh into similar-sized pieces as the mango, ensuring uniform texture in the salsa.
- Finely dice the red onion into small, consistent pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the salsa.
- Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño to reduce heat intensity, then mince the pepper into very small pieces.
- Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the thick stems.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice directly over the diced fruits and vegetables in the mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, starting with a small amount and adjusting according to preference.
- Gently fold all ingredients together, ensuring even distribution of flavors without mashing the fruit.
- Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, make sure your mango and peach are perfectly ripe. They should yield slightly to pressure and have a sweet aroma.
- Adjust the Heat: If you're sensitive to spice, be sure to remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeño. You can also substitute with a milder pepper or omit it entirely.
- Chill for Flavor: Allow the salsa to sit in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This resting time lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve with Style: This salsa pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, or fish tacos. Get creative and use it as a topping for your favorite dishes!
- Freshness is Key: Always use fresh lime juice for the best taste. Bottled lime juice can lack the vibrant flavor that fresh juice provides.
- Experiment with Additions: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, a touch of honey for sweetness, or even a splash of vinegar for extra tang.
