Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 cup cucumber peeled (if desired) and diced
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion
- 1 small jalapeño de-seeded and finely minced (optional for heat). ot)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mango, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
- Squeeze in the lime juice and gently toss everything together until well mixed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
Notes
- The chop size: Keep the mango and cucumber roughly even in size, and finely chop strong or pungent ingredients like red onion and jalapeno for the best flavor balance.
- Adjust the cucumber texture: Leave the peel on and remove seeds for the most crunch, leave the seeds for more softness, or peel it and leave seeds for the softest texture.
- Let it marinate: I recommend 30 minutes minimum, but 2-3 hours is even better to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Adjust to taste: I.e., tangier, spicier, herbier, etc.
