How to Make Fresh Fruit Salsa

  1. Peel and dice 1 cup of ripe mango and 1 cup of ripe papaya. Reserve ¼ cup of the combined mango and papaya juice.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango and papaya with ½ red bell pepper (finely diced), ¼ cup red onion (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced - optional), the reserved ¼ cup of fruit juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  3. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (The longer it chills, the better it tastes!)
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
