Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s essential to use fresh produce for vibrant flavors. Look for ripe mangoes that yield gently to pressure. The color should be bright with a hint of golden yellow.

Peel the mangoes and cut around the pit. The flesh should come away without much effort. Dice the mango into small, even cubes. Aim for about half-inch pieces. This ensures each spoonful has a nice mix of flavors.

Dice the red bell pepper and red onion finely. The bell pepper adds a sweet crunch to the salsa. Meanwhile, the onion delivers a sharpness that complements the sweetness of the mango.

If you’re looking for some heat, mince the jalapeño. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor. This step is crucial for controlling the spice level in your salsa.

In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Toss gently with a spatula. This is where you start to see the beautiful colors blend.

Now, squeeze the juice of one lime over your salsa. Make sure to include the zest too! The zest elevates the lime flavor. Then, drizzle in the honey. Mix everything together again, tasting as you go. Adjust the salt if needed.

Let your salsa sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together. Plus, it cools the salsa, making it more refreshing.
