This simple and colorful mango salsa is super easy to make! It’s sweet, spicy and absolutely delicious. Serve this fresh mango salsa with chips, on tacos or salads, or as a salad itself. It’s that good. Recipe yields about 3 cups salsa.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe mangos, diced (how to cut a mango)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• ½ cup chopped red onion
• ¼ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 large lime, juiced (about ¼ cup lime juice)
• ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt, to taste

Instructions

1. In a serving bowl, combine the prepared mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. Drizzle with the juice of one lime.
2. Using a large spoon, stir the ingredients together. Season to taste with salt, and stir again. For the best flavor, let the salsa rest for 10 minutes or longer.

Notes

Mango salsa adapted from the mango pico in my Thai mango cabbage wraps.

Storage suggestions: Honestly, I’ll be amazed if you have any salsa leftovers! You can store the salsa in the refrigerator, covered, for several days. It will be best fresh, though.

   I would also recommend adding avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and a little drizzle of olive oil for an extra boost of goodness!

   This sounds delicious! Do you think the cilantro could be substituted with mint? We have someone with a cilantro aversion in our extended family.

      Hi Katie,

      Yes, it would change the flavor profile, but mint and mango will work together well. If you give it a try, please share what you think!

   Will frozen mango chunks work?

   1. Hi Lindsey, I prefer the texture of fresh mango, but you can use frozen, and that means you don’t have to guess if the mango is ripe. If you try it please share how it turns out.

   Nobody ever asks me to “bring your special signature dish” Well, they will now! I shoiuld have just served it with 4 big spoons and let the gals go at it! It was quite the hit! I added some chunks of pineapple because I didnt have enough mangoes. The pineapple is a nice touch. I’m making it again tomorrow. I don’t know if I should add some black beans and corn…or just leave well enough alone. I have a reputation to uphold now…I think I’ll leave it as is! Thanks so much for sharing this reccipe
