Mango Bruschetta
This delightful Mango Bruschetta combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the tanginess of lime and the heat of jalapeño, all atop a crispy baguette slice.
Ingredients
For the Mango Salsa:
- 2 ripe mangos peeled and diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeded and minced (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime juice
- salt to taste
For the Bruschetta:
- 1 baguette sliced into 12 pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Salsa: Dice the mangoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Mince the jalapeño and chop the cilantro. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt. Gently mix everything together. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Prepare the Bruschetta: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil. Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and rub each slice with the halved garlic clove for added flavor.
- Assemble the Mango Bruschetta: Spoon a generous amount of mango salsa onto each toasted baguette slice. If using, sprinkle crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese on top of the mango salsa. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped cilantro for added freshness.
- Serve: Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately.
