    "2 ripe mangoes",

  "directions": [
    "Wash the mangoes, bell pepper, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro under running water. Scrub the lime before cutting.",
    "Stand each mango on its end and slice down on both sides of the flat pit to remove the two cheeks.",
    "Score each cheek in a grid without cutting through the skin, then scoop the cubes into a mixing bowl with a large spoon. Trim any fruit left on the pit and add it.",
    "Add the bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.",
    "Pour in the lime juice, sprinkle with salt, and stir gently.",
    "Taste and add more lime or salt if needed. Serve right away with tortilla chips, or chill until serving."

  "food_safety": "Wash mangoes before cutting so germs on the skin are not carried onto the fruit by the knife. Wash your hands after handling jalapeño. Cut fruit salsa must go back in the refrigerator within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F).",
