Mango Salsa

Okay, so I have a confession to make.  I have been afraid of mangoes.  Not like "boo" scared, but "afraid of the unknown" scared.  I love the way they taste.  But, I shied away from recipes where they were an ingredient, because I didn't know how to pick out a good mango or how to cut one.  I came across a wonderful website by the National Mango Board full of great information about...what else, MANGOES.  I even learned how to pick out and cut a ripe mango.  Super easy...in fact, I don't know what I was even afraid of.  Click here to go to the website or watch the video below if you have a mango phobia of your own to get over.

Now that you are not afraid of mangoes either, you MUST try this Mango Salsa recipe.  It is wonderful on freshly grilled fish or on soft tacos (of the steak or fish variety).  You could even eat it by dipping a chip in the bowl, scooping it up and putting it in your mouth.  Any way you choose to eat it...it's DEE-LISH!!

Ingredients:
1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded and diced
1 Tbsp. finely diced red onion
1 small chile of your choice, stemmed, seeded and minced
   **(I used a jalapeno, because I have kids and I'm a wimp.)
1 medium tomato, diced
fresh cilantro, chopped (how ever much you like to taste...a small handful is a good amount)
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Stir the mango, onion, chile, tomato, chopped cilantro and the lime juice together in a bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
