How to make mango tomato salsa
- Cut the sides away from the mango pit, then make crosswise cuts in the flesh without cutting through the peel.
- Peel the segments away and chop the mango pieces if they are too large for your salsa.
- Finely chop the rest of your ingredients.
- Add everything to a wide bowl and season with salt, pepper and lime juice to your preferences.
- Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors, then serve.
Storage & serving
Enjoy our homemade mango tomato salsa immediately after making it or chill it covered in the fridge for an hour before serving to let the flavors develop.
Be aware that it will get watery as it sits but still tastes fantastic! Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
This spicy mango salsa is great with chips, in a taco, on your Buddha bowl, in burritos, with grilled vegetables, roasted black beans or chickpea meatloaf.
Tips for this recipe
You can use frozen mangoes instead of fresh ones for this salsa! Just let the pieces thaw, then dice and use them as you would fresh mango.
Feel free to go for mild or spicy jalapeños, depending on your taste preferences. You can also add cayenne pepper to make this salsa spicier!
Mango can be swapped for peach or pineapple and if your fruit isn’t all too ripe, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup to your salsa.
