Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 large lime juiced, about 1 tbsp
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups diced Mango
- 1 red pepper diced
- 2 jalapenos seeded and diced
- ½ large red onion sliced
Instructions
- Make the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, lime juice, honey, and chili powder. Set aside.
- Mix the ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the Mango, red pepper, jalapeno, and red onion.
- Add the dressing. Add the honey dressing to the salad mixture and fold it in well until completely incorporated.
- Chill. Cover and place the salad in your refrigerator for at least an hour for flavors to blend together (If possible). Toss or stir salad when ready to serve.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 3–4 days. Freezing is not recommended as the texture changes.
- Make Ahead: Prepare a few hours in advance and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld together.
- Dice evenly: Helps every bite have balanced flavor
- Adjust spice level: Remove seeds or reduce jalapeños for less heat
- Use fresh lime juice: Bottled juice won’t taste as bright
- Serve cold: Keeps the salad crisp and refreshing
- Use sharp knife: Prevents mango from becoming mushy
- Taste and adjust: Add more lime or honey if needed to reduce or increase sweetness
