Mango Pico De Gallo
Report
This Mango Pico De Gallo is summer's favorite salsa or condiment! It works like a zesty sweet spicy flavor booster to all your dishes, and it comes together in less than 5 minutes. We use it endlessly with our tacos, bowls, grilled meats, salads, or just on it's own with some chips.

Ingredients
- 1 Mango peeled and finely diced
- 1 small red onion minced about 1/3 cup
- 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes minced
- 1/2 cup cilantro minced
- 1 Jalapeño minced
- 3 tablespoons lime juice more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
Notes
- This is a recipe with simple ingredients so try to use the best you can find. Ripe juicy mangos are preferred along with sweet cherry tomatoes.
- If the red onion is too strong for your taste, swap it for scallions. And alternatively if you love the strong pungent onion taste, then go for a yellow onion.
- Control the level of spice by removing the seeds entirely from the jalapeño. Or use half, or even a quarter of it instead of a full one.
- Depending on your chopping skills, you can get this recipe in 5 minutes. But you can also use a chopper, especially if your mango is firm.
- Cilantro is a classic flavor with pico recipes, however many people find a soapy taste to it. If you're one of those, then simply swap it for parsley.
- While you can spice it up with cumin and chilli powder, we find that salt is basically enough for the flavors to shine.
- The lime is what pops up the salsa, so we add plenty. You can add even more actually there's room for it, and likewise you can add less if it's not your thinng.
- Try adding an avocado, pineapple instead of the tomatoes, or swap the mango for stone fruits like nectarine.
- YES! The best thing about dips and salsas is that the more they sit, the more the flavors blend together. So it's ideal to make this one day in advance. If you're making it the day of, then let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving for optimal flavor.
- While they're both condiments or sauces if you will, salsa is usually blended. Our Homemade Salsa is made mainly in a food processor. Pico de gallo is usually chopped and never blended. Another major difference is that salsas may often be cooked, or have a few ingredients cooked, while others can remain fresh. Pico however is always made of fresh uncooked ingredients.
