Ingredients

  • 1 mango cut into cubes
  • 1 cup corn
  • ½ red pepper chopped
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno finely chopped
  • 1 handful cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp. garlic minced
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¾ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Corn

  • Skillet Corn: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil and add the corn kernels. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the kernels start to char.
  • You can use frozen corn too.
  • Air Fryer Corn: Preheat air fryer at 390F (200C) for 5 minutes.
  • Spread the corn kernels in a single layer.
  • Air fry for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket midway, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Boiled/Steamed Corn: Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Add the corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
  • Microwave Corn: Microwave corn in a glass dish for 5-7 minutes till cooked.

Chop the ingredients

  • Peel the mango and using XOXO chopper, chop into cubes.
  • In case you don’t want to use a chopper, cut mango into thick slices with skin avoiding the skin.
  • Score the slices in perpendicular lines and then scoop out the cubes using a spoon.
  • You can also just use a knife to cut into uniform pieces.
  • Chop half pepper and half red onion into cubes or finely.
  • Mince 2 or 3 cloves or garlic and finely chop 1 green chilli or jalapeño and a handful of cilantro leaves.
  • Mix the Salsa: In a large bowl, combine the prepared corn, cubed mango, onion, pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro.
  • Squeeze lime juice over the top and season with salt, pepper and minced garlic.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Refrigerate: You can let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for half an before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld together.
  • I have had it right away too, and it tastes pretty great as well.

Notes

Choosing Mangoes: Look for mangoes that yield a little when you press them.
They should be slightly soft, but not mushy. Also only use ripe mangoes here.
Cutting Mangoes: The easiest way to dice a mango is to cut off the sides, avoiding the large seed in the center.
Score the flesh in a grid pattern, then scoop it out with a spoon. Or use a chopper for even cubes.
Adjust to Taste: This is a versatile recipe. Feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients to your taste.
Like it spicy? Add more jalapeno. Want it sweeter? Add more mango.
