Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 mango, diced (or 1 cup thawed frozen chunks)*
- 1 tablespoon diced onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Baked Tortilla Chips from the Eating Smart • Being Active Let’s Cook! cookbook
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Wash fresh mango and cilantro (if using) under cold running water.
- Collect, prepare, and measure all ingredients before starting to prepare the recipe.
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl (or in two bowls if you want to have some without onion).
- Serve with Baked Tortilla Chips from the Eating Smart • Being Active Let’s Cook! cookbook.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Eat within 3 to 5 days.
Be creative! Substitute peach, papaya, or avocado for mango. Serve as a garnish for chicken or fish.
*To cut fresh mango:
- Stand it on its end, place the knife about ¼ inch from the center (which is where the pit is), and cut from top to bottom. Repeat on the other side.
- Discard the center with the pit.
- With the peel side down, slice the flesh of the mango in parallel lines from top to bottom, about ½ inch apart, and then side to side to create bite-sized pieces, making sure not to cut through the peel.
- Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Repeat on the other half.
