Mango Salsa with Cilantro


Katie here!  I just made this for a BBQ that we hosted.  It was easy and I love the use of fresh ingredients to take the party food to a whole another level. This recipe yields 3 cups and we had plenty left over to enjoy for a few days.  I found this recipe in the cookbook called Delicious Dips.  One thing to note is to try to use the ripest mangoes that you can find.

2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2 inch dice
1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch dice
4 green onions, including green tops, diced
2 tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 jalapeno chile, seeds and ribs removed, finely minced
1 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbs of olive oil
1 tsp salt

In medium bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients.  In a small bowl stir together the lemon, lime, oil and salt.  Stir until salt dissolves.  Pour over mango mixture.  Stir gently to combine.  Set aside for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
