Easy SALSA RECIPE
This is one of my favorite salsa recipes for tacos. The brightness and acidity of this easy appetizer is out of this world! Fresh, juicy mangoes are combined with jalapenos, lime juice, red onion, fresh cilantro and salt and pepper. Serve it with chips or as a condiment for tacos, grilled meats, and seafood. I love this fresh salsa recipe so much that I enjoy it itself too. You want the mangoes to be ripe and fragrant, but those that have ripened too much will be difficult to dice and hold their shape in the salsa.

How to Dice a Mango
For this recipe to truly work out, you need some basic skills on how to dice a mango. Here’s how it goes –
Step 1. Hold the mango on its side so one of the pointed ends is facing you, with the cheeks at either side.
Step 2. Slice downwards to remove one of the cheeks, guiding the knife around the stone in the middle. Turn the mango around and repeat on the other side.
Step 3. Holding the mango, cut the flesh in a diagonal pattern along the length of the cheek using the tip of the knife, avoiding cutting through the skin. Turn 90 degrees and score again to make a criss-cross pattern.
Step 4. Turn the scored mango cheek over and push on the skin with your fingers so the fleshy side pops out, with the scored mango chunks separated and poking out. Cut the cubes of flesh away from the skin with a knife.
Step 5. Repeat on the other mango cheek.
Then you can cut the mango flesh cubes into smaller pieces to make this easy salsa recipe. Make sure to use a very sharp knife for this.
