Mango Pico de Gallo
Description
The Mango Pico de Gallo recipe blends juicy mango cubes with seeded roma tomatoes and finely diced red onion, offset by the mild heat of deseeded jalapeno pepper. Fresh cilantro adds a herbaceous note, while lime juice and kosher salt provide acidity and balance. Stirring the ingredients together and letting the salsa rest for at least 15 minutes helps soften the sharpness of the onion and integrate the flavors. The optional chili powder adds subtle depth without overpowering the fresh ingredients.
The resulting mixture offers a combination of tender fruitiness from mango, refreshing herbal and citrus notes, and mild spiciness, making it great as a topping for grilled dishes or as a dip. The diced texture ensures each bite is lively yet easy to scoop.
Preparation tips include scooping out tomato seeds to avoid excess wateriness, rinsing diced red onions to reduce raw sharpness, and using gloves when handling jalapeno to prevent irritation. Storing this pico de gallo in an airtight container in the fridge enhances its flavor over 3 to 4 days as it marinates further.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Mango small diced, ripe
- 1 cup Roma tomato deseeded and small diced

Instructions

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days; flavor develops as it sits.
- Taste with lime juice gradually to avoid excessive acidity if you prefer a less tart salsa.
- Use disposable gloves when chopping jalapeno to protect your skin and avoid transferring heat to your face or eyes.
- Remove tomato seeds before dicing to prevent watery salsa.
- Rinse diced red onions under cold water to mellow their sharpness and reduce aftertaste.
