2 tablespoons lime juice (juice of 1 lime)

Black pepper, to taste

4. Add chopped cilantro to the bowl and gently toss all ingredients together.

Notes
Use mangoes that are ripe but still firm to prevent a mushy salsa.
For a mild flavor, soak the chopped red onion in water for 10 minutes before adding.
Let the salsa sit before serving so the flavors can meld beautifully.
