Fresh Mango Salsa Recipe
A vibrant tropical salsa combining ripe mango for sweetness, red bell pepper for crunch, and citrus juice for tang. Perfect as a dip, topping, or side dish with bold flavor layers.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe mangos, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Peel the mangos, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into bite-size chunks
- Seed and dice the red bell pepper
- Finely chop the red onion; soak in cold water briefly if desired to mellow sharpness, then drain
- Seed and chop the jalapeño (leave seeds for extra spice if preferred)
- Mince the garlic
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing until well blended
- Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or up to 3 days for enhanced flavor
Notes
Use Ataulfo or Tommy Atkins mangos for optimal sweetness and texture
Soak red onion in cold water to soften pungency for a milder flavor
Adjust jalapeño seeds to control spice level
Pineapple juice can replace orange juice for a tropical twist
Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to enhance flavor balance
