Ancient Crunch

Snack

This Mango Habanero Salsa is sunshine in a bowl: ripe mango brings a juicy, golden sweetness, red bell pepper and onion add crunch and bite, cilantro keeps it fresh and green, habanero brings a slow, tropical heat and a squeeze of lime ties everything together with brightness. Scooped up with MASA Lime, it’s the kind of snack that feels equal parts refreshing and bold, a little sweet and a little fiery.

Mango Habanero Salsa

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango (~1.5 cups), peeled, pitted, and diced
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, thick stems removed and roughly chopped
  • ½ habanero chili, seeded and finely minced
  • ½ lime, juiced + ½ tsp zest
  • ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
  • MASA Chips Lime, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and habanero.

  2. Add lime juice, zest, and salt. Toss gently until everything looks glossy and mingled.

  3. Taste and adjust: more lime for tang, more habanero for heat, more salt for balance.

  4. Serve with MASA Lime Chips, or let chill 15 minutes for flavors to deepen.
