Prepare the produce. Carefully peel the mangoes and dice the flesh into 1/4-inch cubes. Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion to a similar size. Mince the jalapeño after removing the seeds and ribs for controlled heat. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and optional black pepper. Gently toss with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly coated.
For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
Before serving, give the salsa one final stir to redistribute the juices. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as needed. Serve chilled.
