Save It
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
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!

Mango Salsa
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!
