Ingredients

• 1 large Unripe Mango (preferably Ataulfo or any low-carb variety)
• 0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 0.25 medium Red Onion
• 1 small Jalapeño Pepper
• 0.25 cup Cilantro Leaves
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the unripe mango to reduce overall sugar content, and cut it into small, even cubes. Aim for cubes about 1/4 inch in size to ensure a balanced mix in each bite.

Step 2

Next, wash and cut the red bell pepper. Remove all seeds and core before dicing it into small, evenly sized pieces that match the size of the mango cubes.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop a quarter of a red onion, ensuring the pieces are small and uniform. This will provide a subtle but sharp flavor to the salsa.

Step 4

Slice the jalapeño pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat. If you prefer your salsa spicy, you can leave some seeds intact. Finely dice the jalapeño.

Step 5

Wash and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Measure out a quarter cup, packed tight, to ensure a bright, herbal flavor throughout the salsa.

Step 6

Roll the lime gently on a hard surface to make it easier to juice. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the assembled ingredients.

Step 7

Add the salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors meld well without overpowering the freshness of the mango.

Step 8

Gently mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, taking care not to crush the mango pieces.

Step 9

Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve fresh with your favorite low-carb chip alternatives or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
