Summer means mangoes and summer also means salads. The sun is burning bright and there is just no respite from the heat. The air conditioners are working round the clock and are quite ineffective while driving. Nowadays, I don’t feel like having coffee or a full-blown lunch. I crave salads and summer refreshing drinks. This easy mango salsa comes real handy as an accompaniment to your lunch. At the same time, if you are entertaining guests and have made an array of appetizers, put a bowl of mango salsa on the side. It will get over in two minutes.
This is a super easy recipe. Requires few ingredients and takes around ten to fifteen minutes to put everything together. Of course, the hero of the dish is mango. So get hold of some ripe and sweet mangoes. This mango salsa has a jumble of flavours packed in one plate. Sweet, salty with a little sing from lemon juice and green chilies, if you wish to add.
Ingredients needed and how to make Mango Salsa
- One ripe yet firm mango
- a medium-sized onion
- one tomato
- 2- 3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2- 3 chopped green chilies
