Ingredients

Instructions

Peel and dice the mangos into ½ inch chunks
Dice the red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add everything to a large mixing bowl, add the juice of the lime and mix together.

Notes

Substitutions

Red onion- You can use white onion or yellow onion.

Red bell pepper- You can use green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, or orange bell pepper.

Jalapeños- You can use serrano peppers, which will make this an extra-spicy salsa. If you like spicy flavors you can also use a habanero pepper and you will get a tasty mango habanero salsa. If you don't like spicy then you can omit the jalapeño altogether.

Mangos- If you can't find any fresh mangos, you can use fresh tomatoes. Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes would work great.

Tips

Pick a ripe mango that gives slightly when you press it. Too firm will taste bland, too soft will turn mushy.
If you want extra heat, keep some of the jalapeño seeds or swap in a serrano.
For a chunkier pico, dice everything a little larger so the mango shines.
Add a pinch of sea salt to bring out the sweetness.
Let the pico chill in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors really come together.
Try mixing in a little pineapple or peach if you want a fun tropical twist.

Storing

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors get even better as they sit, but the mango will soften over time. If you want it to taste extra fresh the next day, wait to add the lime juice until right before serving.
