Mango Salsa
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp. finely minced red onion
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 average size ripe mango (1 1⁄2 cups minced)
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
- cayenne to taste (optional)
Instructions:
Place minced onion in a small strainer over a bowl. Slowly pour boiling water over the onion, then let it sit for 5 minutes. This will soften its bite and turn it a purple-pink color. Combine all ingredients and mix gently. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Serve cold with chips.
Notes:
Use caution when handling the outside of mangos. Some people (like my Mema) are allergic to the mango's skin, but not the inside pulp.
