If a BBQ had an extrovert friend, it would be this salsa. It’s vibrant, loud, and pairs perfectly with everything from grilled halloumi to spicy tacos. The sweetness of ripe mango cuts through the smoky char of grilled meats, while the lime juice keeps the whole dish feeling incredibly light. It’s a zero-cook recipe that makes any table look like a professional catering spread.

Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes, diced into small cubes 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped 1/2 red onion, finely diced 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for heat) 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Juice of 2 limes and a pinch of sea salt Method

Step 1

Combine the mango, bell pepper, and onion in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the jalapeño and cilantro.

Step 3

Drizzle with fresh lime juice and toss gently.

Step 4

The Pro-Tip: Let the salsa sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the lime juice to slightly pickle the onions and draw out the mango’s natural sugars, creating a glossy, flavorful dressing.
