Mango Salsa


If you’re looking for a salsa that has mastered the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and salty, then this mango salsa will your new fave snack. While I can’t get enough of other favorite chunky salsas—avocado, corn, even blueberry—this mango variation is a classic, whether you’re eating it all on its own or topping your tacos with it. Pair with homemade tortilla chips, and you’ll have a fresh snack to bring to BBQ potlucks (or keep all to yourself 😏) all summer long.

How To Make Mango Salsa

INGREDIENTS

• Mango: Of course, mango is the star of the show here. It’s important to prepare it correctly—follow this easy guide to cutting a mango to get started on the right foot.
• Avocado: Diced avocado adds a creamy factor that rounds out this entire salsa.
• Tomatoes: Diced cherry tomatoes add a fresh and juicy brightness in this dish.
• Jalapeño: Not a fan of heat? Leave out the jalapeño or substitute for chopped bell peppers. Want to UP the heat? Add even more jalapeño, or some poblano chiles for extra spice and a smoky flavor.
• Onion: Chopped red onion not only adds texture, but a sharp bite to contrast from the sweet flavors.
• Cilantro: Don’t skip the fresh cilantro—it gives another level of brightness to the salsa.
• Lime: Freshly squeezed lime juice brings the entire dish together. Make sure and choose fresh, ripe limes for this, and add more juice to taste.
• Olive oil: Use your favorite extra-virgin olive oil, or checkout Delish’s list of the best (and worst!) olive oil brands.
