Mango Coconut Salsa

This is a purely delicious recipe from my 80/20 book. My mango coconut salsa is perfect for your Australia Day summer time BBQ and it goes wonderfully well with just about anything from white fish to poached organic chicken. The mangoes I used are Honey Gold Mangoes from PINATA FARMS in Queensland,  and all you really need to do  is just add a squeeze of lime  and a few aromatics and you have the most amazing salsa you'll ever eat. 

INGREDIENTS

Makes 1 jar

2 purely delicious mangoes

1 red onion, finely diced

4 limes

2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger

1 bunch coriander, chopped

1 fresh young coconut

fresh ground black pepper to taste

Chilli (optional)

METHOD

Slice the cheeks from each side of the mango, remove the flesh and chop into dice.

Place diced mango into a bowl.

Add the onion, the juice from 4 limes, ginger and coriander.

Cut the tops of the young coconut and enjoy a glass of coconut water.

Remove the soft white coconut flesh with a spoon and chop into fine dice.

Combine the coconut flesh gently with the rest of the mango salsa and season with a generous grind of black pepper. At this stage you can add a little chilli if you wish.

Refrigerate salsa until required.

Store for unto 3 days.
