Easy Mango Salsa
Description
The salsa combines finely diced fresh mango with diced orange and red bell peppers, red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and jalapeño peppers. Lime juice and sea salt balance and enhance the flavors. The preparation involves carefully dicing the ingredients to uniform size for texture and appearance.
This mixture creates a fresh, fruity salsa that offers a blend of sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy notes. The vegetables contribute crunch, while the mango adds juicy sweetness, producing a lively contrast.
The salsa pairs well with tortilla chips as a snack or appetizer. It can also complement grilled steak, chicken, enchiladas, or tacos, adding brightness and a fresh contrast to richer dishes.
The recipe includes a helpful mango slicing technique to efficiently cube the fruit, ensuring maximum usable fruit and safety while cutting. Serving the salsa chilled enhances its refreshing qualities.

Need help slicing your mango? Try this:
- Slice your mango on either side of the pit located in the middle of the fruit. It's typically about half an inch thick. You'll be left with 2 rounded slices of mango (the sides) and a rectangular shaped pit (the middle piece).
- Using your knife, slice the insides of your mango slices vertically and horizontally, creating a grid of mango cubes. This is similar to how you'd slice the inside of an avocado.
- Scoop out your mango cubes. You can also slice off the remaining mango surrounding the pit. Be careful with your knife!
Notes
- Serve the mango salsa chilled either with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats and Mexican dishes.
- Use the recommended mango slicing method to safely and efficiently cube the mango near the pit.
- This salsa is versatile—try substituting the mango with other fresh fruits like berries, pineapple, peaches, pears, avocado, or kiwis for variations.
