Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    2-3 ripe mangoes (not green)
    1-2 large lemons
    1-2 limes (key limes are okay)
    1/2 cup of fresh orange juice
    Approx. 2 tbsp of fresh cilantro

Directions

Skin, core and cut up 2-3 mangoes into small pieces (approx. 1/2 inch square) and place into a bowl.
Add the juice from the lemons and limes.
HINT: When squeezing the lemons and limes, first cut them in half and hold one half in your hand with the meat of the fruit against your palm; squeeze the juice into your palm. This is a professional trick used to prevent a lot of seeds from sneaking into the recipe. :)
Add 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice, or to taste.
Chop up cilantro leaves (not stems) and add to bowl; add enough to taste.
Stir ingredients in bowl, cover, and chill in refrigerator before serving.

Top off a fish dish (grilled salmon is especially yummy!) or a salad of your choice with this low-fat salsa. If you want heat in the salsa, add some chiles, peppers and onions, or whatever you prefer.
