Mango Salsa with Hawaiian Black Lava Salt
- 2 ripe mangos
- 1 red chile pepper such as medusa head, red serrano, or red jalapeno pepper, minced
- 3 tablespoons minced red onion
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 three-finger pinch coarse Hawaiian black lava salt or alaea Hawaiian salt, plus more for sprinkling
- Using a sharp knife, cut the flesh of the mangos from the pits, leaving two halves with the skin still on.
- Make parallel cuts 1/4 inch apart into the cut surface of each mango half, slicing through the flesh but not through the skin.
- Make another set of cuts the same way, this time running perpendicular to the first cuts to make squares.
- Slice the mango cubes from the skin by inverting each mango half and running your knife carefully between the flesh and the skin.
- Combine the mango cubes with the chile, onion, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour before using.
- Mix gently, sprinkle with the salt, and serve with an additional small bowl of salt on the side.
