Grilled Mango Salsa
- 1 large ripe but firm mango
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil
- 2 small Roma tomatoes (5 to 6 ounces) cut in small dice (about 2/3 cup diced tomato)
- 1/2 small jicama (about 4 ounces), peeled and finely chopped (about 2/3 cup)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 or 2 serrano or jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
- Prepare a medium-hot grill.
- Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces.
- Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill.
- Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear.
- Remove from heat.
- With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices.
- Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin.
- Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch.
- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together.
- Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.
