Get ready to summon some summer vibes and lay out some wild flavors for your next meal with our Easy Fresh Mango Salsa. This stuff’s like throwing a mini-party with each bite you take.
If you’re a fan of those staple Tex-Mex salsas or can’t get enough of the peppy Pico de Gallo, then you’ll embrace this Fresh Mango Salsa and its surprising sweet twist. There’s a certain ‘mmmm’ factor when sweet-as-can-be mangoes rub elbows with sharp lime. Add a pop of flavor from red onions and bell peppers and you’ll be taking a hard left from your regular tomato-based salsas, which is never a bad direction to take in my book.
Does Mango Salsa work with my diet?
This Easy Fresh Mango Salsa features juicy mangoes packed with vitamins and fiber, and tasty avocados loaded with heart-loving fats. It’s all fresh, real, and with zero preservatives to worry about. This Mango Salsa works with vegetarian, vegan, paleo, and gluten-free diets. As it is, it’s not a traditional Mediterranean dish, though the avocado, olive oil, and fresh herbs do complement the principles of a Mediterranean diet. To make it keto friendly, drop the mango (high in sugar!) and add an extra avocado.

Tips & Tricks to Making a Perfect Mango Salsa
- Opt for ripe yet firm mangoes. They should have a fragrant, sweet smell at their stem ends.
- Dice your mango, avocado, red onions, and bell pepper into even pieces to ensure even distribution.
- Don’t skimp on lime juice as it balances the sweetness of mango and keeps the avocado from browning.
- Let the mixed salsa sit for 10 minutes so the flavors can mingle.
FAQs
I like the mango because it has a unique sweet and tangy vibe, but if you want a change, you can try pineapple or peaches instead.
You don’t have to add anything you don’t want to! The avocado gives the salsa a nice buttery texture but if it’s not your thing, just leave it out. Your mango salsa’s still gonna be full of flavor.
Sure, toss in a finely chopped jalapeño or sprinkle in some chili flakes.
Serving Suggestions
This mango salsa goes well with any number of dishes: grilled chicken, fish, shrimp… they all work! If you’re a traditionalist, stick with tortilla chips, tacos and toasty pita bread. And if you’re a minimalist, grab a spoon and call it a salad!
how to prep and store your mango salsa
If need be, make your Mango Salsa a day before you need it. And if you have any leftovers, just pop them in an airtight container and chill it in the fridge. Though, let’s be real, this salsa’s at its prime when it’s fresh. When you eventually reach for it again, give it a good stir and you’re good to go.
