Here is an easy mango salsa with 3 or 4 ingredients:
0, 1, or 1/2 onion
1 red bell pepper
1 handful of cilantro
3 mangos
I first cut the onion an bell pepper into smaller pieces and put the pieces inside the food processor. It is not necessary to have a food processor, but it is quicker! You can instead cut everything not small pieces and mix. Then, I place the cilantro in the food processor and use the pulse function. Lastly, I cut the mango into smaller pieces and place that into the food processor with the other ingredients.
More information on ingredients:
Onions- You can omit the onions if you prefer your salsa to be mild or 1/2 onion. I put one small onion in my salsa. Onions are rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and copper. Onions have been used to reduce inflammation and heal infections. Applying onion juice on a honeybee bite area provides relief from the pain and burning sensation. Raw onions encourage the production of good cholesterol (HDL). Onions also contain a powerful antioxidant called quercetin that fights against cancer.
Bell Peppers- Red bell peppers are rich in carotenoids (hence the bright red color)! Bell peppers are rich in B, C and E vitamins and folate. They contain manganese, a mineral that helps develop strong bones and connective tissues, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
Cilantro- please see episode on Tomato Salsa for information about cilantro!
Mango- The antioxidant zeaxanthin, found in mangoes, filters out harmful blue light rays and is thought to play a protective role in eye health. Mango is high in beta-carotene, which is protective against cancer. It is also high in vitamin A, B6, C, E, Copper, and Folate. Mangos are also a great source of fiber to keep your bowels regular in addition to being delicious!
If you have too many mangoes from your tree, this is a great recipe for you. Enjoy!
