Mango Salsa

Salsa isn't limited to just Mexican cuisine however, as it can include a wide range of ingredients including chilli peppers, onions, black beans, tomato, corn, tomatilla, mango, watermelon, peach, strawberry, and a host of others.

An example which is close to heart would be the malay achar in which we use pineapple as a main ingredient - Mostly served in malay weddings with Nasi Minyak and Ayam masak Merah..Yummy!



Fresh mango salsa is easy to make and perfect with halibut or salmon or as the salsa in fish tacos.

Ingredients

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 1 1/2 cup)
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 Jalapeño chilli, minced (include ribs and seeds for a hotter taste if desired)
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the salsa ends up being a little too hot or acidic for your taste, you can temper it by adding some diced avocado.
