When mangoes are in season and plentiful at the market, it’s hard to resist making mango salsa. It’s so easy!

It’s a great salsa to serve with chips for a gathering, and it’s terrific as a side to fish dishes such as halibut or salmon.

And fish tacos? Mango salsa is perfect for fish tacos.

Mango Salsa Recipe

Prep time: 10 minutes
Yield: Makes 1 1/2 cups

For some variations to this recipe fold in a cup of either some finely diced cucumber, red bell pepper, or jicama. It's also great with avocado!

It will be easier to dice a mango that is still a bit firm, ripe, but not too soft.

Ingredients

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and finely diced (about 1 1/2 cup) (See: How to Cut a Mango)
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/2 jalapeño chile, minced (less or more to taste, make sure to actually taste the chile first, some of them can be quite hot!)
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Method

Put the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño and cilantro in a medium bowl. Toss with lime juice. If the salsa is too acidic for you, stir in some diced avocado.

Serve with fish, steak, tacos, or tortilla chips!

Recipe was easy to make with just five ingredients
Didn’t know what to do with all my mangos from the tree so I made 4 batches of the salsa. All went in no time. I just added a pepper sauce called crazy mango it’s a mango habanero sauce to give it an xtra bite

  Great Paul, I’m so glad you liked the salsa! Love the idea of adding a little habanero heat to it.

I made this for the 4th of July and it was a hit! Although I didn’t change any of the ingredients, I did cheat a little and used frozen mango chunks that I diced into smaller portions. It was still delicious! I could have eaten it by itself!

I am from AZ. and obviously love the heat. I made a large bowl of this added cut tomato, table spoon of Citrus Patron and then a habanero pepper, instead of the jalapeno and a little coarse salt. Perfecto! If you know your peppers Habanero peppers are about a 1000x’s more heat.

A perfect mango salsa. You do not need any other ingredients other than these. Very refreshing.

I had peach/mango salsa from grocery store deli in Florida. Can’t find a recipe. How can I add necessary item to your peach or mango salsa recipes?

  Hi, JudyAnn! I’d suggest using an equal mix of peaches and mangos, using either this recipe or our peach salsa. You might have to play with the ingredients a little to get the exact taste of the salsa you had in Florida. Good luck!

Soooo good I made it twice in one week! I was making your fish tacos (which are also delicious) and made this salsa as a side. My family loved it so much, I used my extra mangos at the end of the week to make more as an appetizer. Thank you Elise!

Could this salsa be canned? Would there be any adjustments to the recipe in terms of preserving it?

This is a fresh salsa, not a cooked salsa, so no, you would not can this salsa. ~Elise

I loved this salsa, it was delicious. I used it as the main flavoring in a couscous salad. I used this salsa, couscous, and black beans. It was a great light dinner.

This recipe was fantastic. I served it atop of grilled shrimp. I think next time I’ll puree about 1/3 of it and mix it in to have a little sauciness to it.

I have seen kiwi put in this salsa instead of cucumber. Give it a try it can give it a cooling effect!
