Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

1-2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust based on desired heat level)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Zest of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/2 ripe avocado, diced (for a creamy texture)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped jalapeños. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Add the chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl. Using a spatula or spoon, mix gently to combine all the elements without mashing the mangoes.

      Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime over the salsa mixture. Then, add the lime zest, infusing the salsa with vibrant citrus flavors.

        Season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir everything well to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.

          If you choose to include the avocado, gently fold in the diced pieces at the end. This will help keep the avocado intact for a delightful creaminess.

            Allow the salsa to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This resting period helps the flavors meld together and enhances the overall taste.

              Serve your Tropical Twang Mango Salsa with crispy tortilla chips, grilled fish, or as a vibrant topping for tacos or your favorite dishes.
