Mango Salsa

• 3 ripe mangoes, pitted and cubed
• Juice of one lime
• 1 tablespoon red onion, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional), seeded and minced

To pit a mango, place it stem side up with the narrow side facing you. Make a vertical lice starting at 1/4" to the right of the stem. Repeat on the other side. Lightly score the flesh of the mango into diamonds. Buckle the skin, pushing the flesh outward so that it resembles a porcupine. Slice off the cubes. Combine all ingredients. Let stand for 10 minutes. Toss before serving. Serve with grilled fish, chicken or pork.
