Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, diced into small chunks

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and minced (adjust quantity based on your desired spice level)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 ripe limes

Salt, to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional for a savory twist)

1 avocado, diced (optional for added creaminess)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by peeling the mangoes and cutting them into small chunks. Select ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and juicy flavor.

    Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the red onion, jalapeños, and red bell pepper. If you're adding avocado, chop it into pieces that match the size of the mango for a uniform presentation.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, minced jalapeños, diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. Stir gently to mix.

        Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice from two fresh limes over the salsa mixture. The lime’s acidity will enhance the flavors and help keep the mangoes vibrant and fresh.

          Season: Sprinkle salt to taste and, if desired, add the ground cumin for a deeper flavor profile. Carefully mix the ingredients to avoid mashing the mango or avocado.

            Chill (Optional): For optimal flavor blending, cover the bowl and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to merge beautifully.

              Serve: Your refreshing Mango Tango Salsa is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it alongside crispy tortilla chips, as a zesty topping for grilled fish or chicken, or as a vibrant side salad.
