Strawberry Mango Salsa combines sweet mangoes, juicy strawberries, cilantro, lime, honey, jalapeño, and sea salt for a deliciously flavorful snack or appetizer.
DRESSING: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
FINISH: Finely dice the strawberries, mango, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Aim for small, similar-sized pieces for an evenly distributed salsa. Add these remaining ingredients to bowl. Gently mix everything together until the fruit is well-coated with the lime juice mixture.
ADJUST: Taste the salsa and adjust the flavors to your personal preference. You can add more lime juice for extra tang or a pinch of extra salt for more flavor.
REST: Allow the salsa to rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
SERVE: Toss the salsa before serving. If desired, serve with tortilla chips or cinnamon-sugar pita/tortilla chips for dipping.
STORAGE: While the salsa is best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Stir well before enjoying.
Notes
Note 1: Mango: The ripeness of mango really makes this salsa! Wait until you have perfectly ripe mangoes (they should be slightly soft to the touch, similar to a ripe peach.) Here's how to cut a mango. We love yellow honey mangoes best in this salsa!Note 2: Jalapeño pepper: You can adjust the spiciness of the salsa by removing the seeds and ribs for a milder flavor, or leaving them in for a spicier kick. When handling jalapeños, wear gloves to avoid getting their natural oils on your skin, which can cause a burning sensation.Note 3: Cilantro: For this recipe, you'll need about half of one bunch of cilantro, depending on the size. To prepare, grab the bunch and twist it to rip off the leaves and stems. (You can use the leaves and tender stems for this recipe.) Finely dice then measure to get a full 1/4 cup.Note 4: Serving suggestion: Our favorite way to enjoy this salsa is with homemade cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips or cinnamon-sugar pita chips. (We also love these cinnamon corn chips!)
