Equipment

chef's knife and cutting board
mixing bowl and spoon

Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
1 mango
1 scallion or spring onion
1 jalapeno
1 ½ limes juice (zest optional)

Optional additions

avocado chopped
cilantro
red onion chopped
garlic minced

Instructions

Slice the tomatoes in half and then each half into quarters. Place the sliced tomato in a medium bowl.
Chop the mango into even chunks. An easy way is to slice the mango lengthwise along each side of the pit, then crosshatch each half, slicing 3-4 times in each direction. This allows you to fan out the slice. From there you can slice off the pieces revealed when fanning out the mango. Slice off the peel around the pit and salvage what you can of the mango there, chopping into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
Mince the spring onion or scallion, including as much of the green as possible. Add to the bowl.
Chop the jalapeno. If you don’t want it too spicy, slice around the seeds and then mince. The more seeds you use, the spicier it will be. Add to the bowl.
Zest one of the limes and then juice them. (You can skip the zesting if you’d like- the salsa just won’t have as much lime flavor.). Add the zest and juice to the bowl and stir to mix the ingredients well. Add any other ingredients you’d like, such as avocado, red onion, and/or cilantro.
Serve and enjoy! Salsa is best when it's had at least an hour in the fridge to marinate. Will last in a sealed container in the the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

I use organic ingredients whenever possible for more nutrients, flavor, fewer toxins, and to support organic farmers. It’s what I want in the world, so I vote with my dollar. Experiment: If money that would normally be spent on processed foods went to the best organic, fresh, real food ingredients available, notice if your body prefers the change. Real food can be quick, easy, and even fun to make, like this recipe!
