10 to 12 strips fresh mango, about 1 1/4 cups finely chopped*
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro leaves
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, catching as much juice from mango as possible and mixing it in. Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
"Fresh-packed" mango -- already peeled, seeded and recipe-ready -- also can be used. It is sold refrigerated and is typically located in supermarket produce departments. In jars, the most widely available brands are DelMonte and SunFresh.
