Substitutions and variations

How to make this healthy mango cucumber salsa
Cut the mango, cucumber, and purple onion into small cubes. Chop the cherry tomatoes into small pieces, and chop the coriander. Transfer all the ingredients to a bowl, and add a pinch of salt and lime juice. Combine well and enjoy! Serve cold.
Tip: remove the cucumber seeds if needed! I usually use Lebanese cucumber which has great taste and barely has seeds.

Equipment
All you need is...
- Chopping board
- Sharp knife - make sure you have a very sharp knife, this will make the prep MUCH easier!
- Medium size bowl
How to store this mango salsa
You can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. After 2-3 days you will notice how the mango starts getting a bit soggy though.
Top tips!!
Use a firm mango! This is a must as otherwise, you won't be able to dice it into small mango pieces. Ripe mangoes won't work.
Cherry tomatoes are best, but you can use another type of tomatoes if you prefer. Just make sure they're pretty firm.
Mango salsa FAQ's
Mango salsa pairs great with grilled fish and meat (especially chicken breast). It also combines fantastic with veggie fritters, tacos and ceviche. Makes the ultimate dip for tortilla chips too!
For mango salsa, cut the mango in small cubes. Make sure you use a firm mango and a very sharp knife. Place your knife parallel with the wide surface of the pit, and cut. Repeat on the other side. Make parallel cuts close together in one direction and then the other. Cut through the depth of the flesh to get the small mango cubes.
