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.
