Mango salsa

Making mango salsa at home is pretty easy and delicious.  It goes well on almost everything as a condiment.

Ingredients to serve about 4, but of you have more just store it in a jar in the fridge:

- 1 large mango, ripe - look for creasing around the stem and give to the touch (diced)
- 1 medium to large red onion (diced) - you can also add some spring onion greens if you want that flavor
- 1 small to medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 bunch of cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 bunch of mint (finely chopped)
- 5 cherry tomatoes (seeds removed and diced)
- the juice of 1 lemon or lime or 1/2 of each
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- Finely chopped green chili or jalapeno (optional)
- A pinch of kosher salt, or rock salt - fruit and salt is a great combo
- A pinch of fresh ground pepper
- A pinch of cayenne pepper - even if you skip the jalapeno peppers, you don't want to skip this, the mix of salt, sweet, sour, and spicy work really well together.

Mix it all up together and let it sit at least an hour in the fridge before serving so all the flavors can blend together.
