Ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 small habanero pepper (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:
1. Sauté the Garlic and Habanero:

2. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, sautéed garlic and habanero, lime juice, honey, cumin, salt, and water.
- Blend until smooth.
3. Adjust Consistency and Flavor:
