Mango Salsa Recipe Ingredients

Mango: The base of this salsa is sweet and juicy fresh mango. You can buy pre-sliced or cubed mango and then dice it into smaller bits or pick your own ripe mango and dice it yourself.

Red Onion: You’ll also need a bit of fresh red onion. You can rinse or soak the red onion in cold water before using to take away some of the ‘bite’.

Red Bell Pepper: This adds some additional crunch and delicious flavor of red bell pepper.

Jalapeño: Diced jalapeño adds just a little heat to the salsa along with flavor. Feel free to leave this out if you prefer.

Cilantro: You can’t have salsa without fresh cilantro!

Salt: Just a bit to season the salsa. Adding a pinch of salt also helps to draw moisture out of the fruits and veggies to make the salsa a bit more “juicy”.

Lime: You’ll need fresh lime juice and zest for this recipe! Nothing is wasted!

How to Make Mango Salsa

Tips for the Best Salsa

Choose Ripe Mango: When choosing pineapples for this recipe be sure that they are nice and ripe for the best sweet and juicy flavor. Your mango should should give slightly when pressed.
Balance the Flavors: You want to be sure that the salsa has the right blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. Before using the mango, give it a taste. If it’s particularly sweet, you might want to add a bit more lime juice to the salsa.
Dice It Up: For the best salsa, you want to chop all the ingredients, including the mango, into small, uniform pieces. That way you get a little bit of everything in every single bite.
Let the Flavors Meld: Before serving, let the mango salsa sit for 30 minutes to give all the flavors a chance to come together.
Kick Up the Heat: If you like your salsa on the spicier side, then leave the ribs and seeds of the jalapeño intact when dicing to add a bit of extra heat.
Serve It Right Away: I find that mango salsa tastes its very best the first or second day. I like to prepare it the same morning I plan to serve.
Adjust the sweetness: If you like your salsa on the sweeter side, feel free to add a touch of honey!

What to Serve with Mango Salsa
