Use fresh, ripe mangos! You know a mango is ready when it turns from green to a reddish yellow color and is soft to the touch.

Red onion adds a bit of crunch and a nice spicy to mild flavor. You can swap for white or yellow onion but the pico will be a bit on the sweeter side.

Cherry tomatoes add the perfect amount of flavor, they aren’t too sweet and not too bland. You may also use grape tomatoes.

Key limes give this pico de gallo the perfect amount of tanginess. Alternatively, you can use lemon or regular limes.

Fresh cilantro is absolutely necessary in pico de gallo.

Salt and pepper to taste.

ONE: First start by slicing the mangos into small bite sized pieces. I like to cut off the edges, and then cut off the skin.
