mango salsa ingredients
mango – Fresh, ripe mangoes work best, but frozen mangoes work well in this recipe as well. If you want to use it frozen, please defrost it and chop it.
pepper – Red peppers add crunch and freshness, and jalapenos add a little kick.
onion – Onions add flavor to this salsa. I love red onions in this recipe, but you can also use sweet white onions.
lime – Fresh lime juice adds tartness and brightness to the salsa.
seasoning – A sprinkle of salt, a dash of cumin and a touch of olive oil add a savory flavor.
To quickly juice a lime, cut it in half and insert a fork. Squeeze the lime around the fork and pour the juice into the bowl. No special juicers or tools required.
How to make mango salsa
- Cut the mango: To cut a mango, first hold the fruit upright and cut off the two “cheeks” (top to bottom) on either side of the seed. Without cutting the skin, make shallow cuts in a criss-cross pattern on each cheek. Then use a spoon to scoop out the mango cubes or cut off any remaining fruit around the seeds.
- Dice the ingredients. Cut the mango and red pepper into cubes. Chop the red onion and jalapeño (seeds give it a spicier flavor)!
- Seasons and ways to enjoy: Season and let all flavors marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Tips and variations
- Add avocado, garlic (just before serving), pineapple, or tomato for extra flavor.
- Be sure to let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Chop all ingredients evenly for easy scooping.
- Add or substitute an equal amount of fresh pineapple or fresh peaches for another twist.
- This salsa is best served cold, so be sure to store it in the refrigerator before eating.
