Fresh Easy Mango Salsa

This Fresh Easy Mango Salsa is delicious served as a dip or as a side to grilled meats. It is one of my favourite go to salsa recipes, because I love the freshness and the sweetness of the fresh mango with that spicy heat.

When ever I spot some fresh ripe mangos on sale, I always grab one or two just so I can make up some of this.

Forget store bought jarred varieties. Once you taste fresh there is no going back.

What is Salsa?

So what exactly is salsa? Salsa is a common condiment that is often served as a side for tacos or Mexican foods.

Typically they are mostly tomato based, but you can also get different varieties such as green salsa (salsa verde), corn salsa and then my favourite, salsa with fruit such as pineapple or mango.

Then you can also buy fresh, jarred or make you own. Fresh is always so much nicer in taste and it's super quick to make if you have the ingredients on hand.

Heat level of Jalapenos

The heat in salsa generally comes from Jalapenos. How much heat you get depends on how you prep for you salsa.

I like to keep mine pretty mild, so that the kids will eat it, and they are not keen on foods which are too spicy.

I remove both the seeds and the white pith (the white membrane inside a jalapeno. Most mistakenly think if they remove the seeds they remove the heat, but actually the majority of the heat is in the white pith part of a jalapeno.

Ingredients in Mango Salsa

Some salsa recipes require your to pulse all the ingredients in a food processor so it is more saucy in appearance. But for this mango salsa, just finely dicing is the best, you want to get little flavour burst of each ingredient.

To my mango Salsa I like to use:

Fresh Ripe Mango
Jalapeno
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Ripe Tomatoes
Cilantro (fresh Coriander)
Cucumber
Lime Juice
Sea Salt

Pretty simple fresh ingredients, right?

What to Serve with Mango Salsa?

If you grilling or barbecuing some protein, then this is the perfect side to serve, it goes amazingly well with a variety of main dishes.

One of my favourites ways to enjoy this Mango Salsa is with these Crispy Cheddar Pita Chips and some of this Pea Guacamole. So so yummy!!

It also makes a great healthy movie snack to share.
