Begin by dicing the ripe mango into small, even cubes.

Thinly slice the red onion and jalapeno, adjusting the jalapeno quantity based on heat preference.

Mince a garlic clove and finely chop cilantro, arranging all ingredients on a clean cutting board.

In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, sliced red onion, jalapeno, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.

Squeeze in fresh lime juice and mix well.

Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

Gently stir until all ingredients are combined and the mango is coated with lime juice.

Let the salsa sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serve alongside grilled meats, tacos, or with tortilla chips.
