  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To prepare this delectable Fresh Crab Mango Salsa, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of fresh crab meat (preferably lump crab meat, picked over for shells)
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Creating this vibrant salsa is an easy process that involves a few simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Ensure that the crab meat is free of shells and cartilage. Dice the mango, red bell pepper, and chop the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  2. Mix the Vegetables and Mango: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and red bell pepper. Mix these ingredients gently to ensure even distribution.
  3. Add the Crab Meat: Gently fold the fresh crab meat into the mixture, being careful not to break up the crab lumps. The goal is to have a chunky salsa that showcases the crab meat.
  4. Season the Salsa: Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lime juice over the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Finally, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top and gently toss the salsa to incorporate the herbaceous notes.
  6. Chill the Salsa: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve your Fresh Crab Mango Salsa with your choice of tortilla chips, over grilled fish, or as a topping for tacos.
