Description
A delightful fusion of sweet mango, exotic dragon fruit, and a hint of spice. This colorful mixture is perfect for a light, refreshing bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 dragon fruit (pitahaya), peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Carefully dice the ripe mango and dragon fruit into small, uniform pieces. Dice the red bell pepper. Finely chop the shallot and, if using, the jalapeño pepper, ensuring seeds are removed for a milder heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, dragon fruit, red bell pepper, chopped shallot, jalapeño (if desired), and fresh cilantro.
- Squeeze the fresh juice from one lime directly over the combined fruit and vegetable mixture.
- Season the salsa with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently stir all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
- For optimal flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and deepen.
- Serve the chilled Mango Dragon Fruit Salsa as a vibrant accompaniment to tortilla chips, crackers, grilled fish, or chicken. It also makes a delightful, refreshing snack on its own.
Notes
- Adjust jalapeño for desired spice level.
- Best served chilled for maximum flavor.
