- 1/4 cup jalapeno (diced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)

Notes
- Select mangoes that are tender to the touch with a mix of green and red skin, letting you know it is perfectly ripe. You want the mango to be ripe but not too mushy so you can easily peel and dice it up for this salsa.
- You can use honey, maple syrup or agave to slightly sweeten this salsa or leave it out all together if you want to keep it lower in sugar.
- When cutting up the jalapeño make sure you use a spoon to remove the ribs and seeds unless you want this salsa to be extra spicy.
- You can serve this salsa cold or at room temperature with your favorite tortilla chips or on top of grilled fish or chicken.
- To store this easy mango salsa, place it into an airtight container and keep if in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
