Ingredients

• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Fresh mango
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 small Fresh jalapeño (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse all produce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if desired, and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Dice it finely and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Peel the red onion and chop it into small, even-sized pieces. Add it to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 6

Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add it to the salad for a burst of sweetness.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.

Step 8

If using jalapeño, finely chop it (removing seeds for less heat or leaving them for more spice) and add to the salad.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to combine.

Step 11

Let the salad salsa sit for about 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it on its own as a bright and refreshing summer salad.
