Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, diced into small cubes

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (red or yellow for sweetness), diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust amount based on desired spice level)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Salt, to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for added depth)

1 avocado, diced (optional, for a creamy texture)

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing all your fresh ingredients. Dice the ripe mangoes into small, bite-sized cubes, making sure they are sweet and juicy to provide the best flavor.

    Finely chop the red onion and bell pepper, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl along with the diced mangoes.

      If you’d like to add some heat, carefully mince the jalapeño, then incorporate it into the bowl. Adjust the amount to suit your personal spice preference – you can always add more later if you like it spicier!

        Next, chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it generously over the mango mixture. The cilantro will lend a bright, refreshing taste to the salsa.

          Squeeze the juice of the limes evenly over the entire mixture. This not only adds a zesty acidity but also keeps the vibrant colors of the salsa intact.

            Season with salt to taste, and if you're inclined, sprinkle in the cumin to enhance the flavor profile. Use a gentle hand to stir the ingredients together, taking care not to mash the mango cubes.

              If you choose to add avocado for an extra creamy element, do this last – gently fold the diced avocado into the salsa to preserve its shape.

                Allow the salsa to rest for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature to let all the flavors meld beautifully. For a chilled version, place it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

                  Present your Tropical Paradise Mango Salsa alongside crispy tortilla chips, over grilled fish, in tacos, or as a delightful topping for your favorite salad.
