My Mango Salsa is a fruity, flavorful twist on traditional salsa. I use a can of mango chunks to create a delicious fruit salsa without tomatoes. This easy salsa recipe is perfect as a dip with tortilla chips, but I also love using it as a topping for tacos, chicken, and more.

Notes

Variations

- Fruits: Add different fruits like pineapple, peach, strawberry. With the same recipe add any of these 3/4 cup – 1 cup and adjust salt as per taste.
- Veggies: Adding a variety of veggies like cucumber, avocado, corn, colorful bell peppers, cherry tomatoes to name a few. Add any of these 1/2 cup with the rest of the recipe.
- Spicy: If you need extra spicy kick and pungent flavors use habanero pepper. I haven’t tried it with such peppers but if you try do let me know in comments.
- Garlic: It’s not common to use raw garlic but 1 clove of finely chopped garlic will so much flavors that you won’t be able to stop scooping.
- Vinegar: Rice vinegar adds a perfect citrusy tanginess in salsa. I highly recommend it in place of lime juice.

Recipe Notes

If using fresh mango, choose sweet, ripe yet firm mangoes to make this salad.
Any onion will work for the salsa.
If you don’t like cilantro, simply don’t use it. Salsa will still taste great!
