Description
Mango Habanero Salsa is a must-try for anyone who enjoys bold flavors. Its sweet, spicy, and tangy profile will quickly make it a staple in your kitchen!
Ingredients
- Mango: Adds a rich, juicy sweetness that softens the heat.
- Habanero Peppers: Bring a fiery intensity that complements the mango.
- Red Onion: Adds a sharp crunch and depth of flavor.
- Lime Juice: The fresh acidity balances out the sweetness and heat.
- Cilantro: Provides a fresh, herby finish, adding complexity to the salsa.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Enhances and balances the flavors.
Instructions
- Chop the Mango: Start by cutting a ripe mango into small cubes. The riper the mango, the sweeter and more flavorful the salsa will be.
- Prepare the Habanero: Carefully dice a habanero pepper. For those who prefer less heat, removing the seeds and membrane will make the salsa more mild.
- Mix the Ingredients: Combine the mango, habanero, chopped red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Chill and Serve: Let the salsa sit in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Spice Level and Customization: For a milder salsa, reduce the number of habanero peppers or remove their seeds and membranes. For a hotter version, add an extra pepper or two. You can also mix in other tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya for more sweetness.
- Storing and Serving Tips: This salsa is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you make it ahead of time, be sure to give it a good stir before serving, as the flavors intensify after sitting.
