This is the best Mango-Mint Salsa recipe on the web!!
When buying mangoes, look for heavy, unblemished fruits. Let them ripen at room temperature until squeezably soft and very fragrant. Many (but not all) varieties turn red when ripe, so you really need to judge ripeness by smell and touch. If you have sensitive skin, wear rubber gloves when handling mangoes: The sap can cause a poison ivynlike reaction. This salsa is delicious made with other fruits, such as peaches, nectarines, or melons, and is a perfect companion to poultry or seafood. Note that the ingredients can be chopped ahead of time, but do the mixing within 20 minutes of serving.
_ mangos, ripe
_ cucumber, medium, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
___ c scallion, finely chopped, both white and green parts
___ red bell pepper, medium, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
_ tbs ginger, minced candied, or fresh ginger
_ to 3 jalapeno chiles, , seeded and minced (for a hotter salsa, leave the seeds in)
___ c fresh mint, chopped
_ tbs lime juice, fresh, or more to taste
_ tbs light brown sugar, firmly packed, or more to taste
1. Peel and pit the mangoes. Cut the mango flesh into 1/4-inch dice. You should have about 2 cups.
2. Combine the mangoes, cucumber, scallions, bell pepper, ginger, chile, mint, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a large bowl and toss gently to mix. Correct the seasoning, adding more lime juice or sugar as necwssary; the salsa should be highly seasoned. The salsa tastes best served within 3 hours of making.
