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
PrintFor 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 Tbsp 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 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 3 Tbsp 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!

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!

I used to make this for Whole Foods Market back in the day. Try topping a burger with it.
I add some pineapple and skip the lime juice….super yummy!
With homemade tortillas, panko breaded oven baked tilapia, shredded lettuce and mango salsa and
a dollop of greek yogurt they were the best fish
tacos for a Friday Lenten meal!
