Mango Salsa

This is my go to recipe for mango salsa.
In Ontario, I only have access to 2 different types of mango. Ataulfo and Apple mango.
For the mango salsa, I only use Ataulfo mangoes. I find apple mango doesn't have the intense mango flavour I desire.
This is a simple recipe but it takes time to chop up all the ingredients. If you're fast at chopping then you'll get this done in no time.
This is actually best made to sit overnight so the flavours have time to meld together!

Mango Salsa

Ingredients

• 2 Ataulfo mangoes
• 2 shallots or half a red onion
• 1 Avocado
• 1 large tomato
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro 
• 1 lime
• 1 tsp garlic minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
• a pinch of sea salt

Directions

1. Peel the the mango and cut it around the seed. 
2. Chop up the mango and place into big bowl.
3. Cut the avocado in half and twist it apart. Use a spoon to remove the flesh from the peel.
4. Chop up the avocado and add it to the bowl.
5. Dice up the tomato and add it into the bowl
6. Finely chop up the cilantro, garlic and shallots and add to the bowl.
7. If you're using the jalapeno pepper, cut it in half, remove the seeds, then chop it up and add it to the bowl.
8. Press and roll the lime on the cutting board. Cut it in half. Stick a fork into the lime and move it around to squeeze out the juice. Do it to both sides.
9. Add the pinch of salt and then mix very very well.
10. Put it in the first and let it rest for minimum 30 mins. Best over a couple of hours or overnight.

Enjoy with chips , tacos, pork chops, etc etc :)
