Summer is almost here, which means mango season, baby!

In my opinion, mangos don’t get used nearly as often as they should in recipes. We have a tutorial on how to cut a mango, so let this be your sign to switch up your salsa game and forget about tomatoes for a while. IT’S MANGO TIME BB and I’M HERE TO PARTY.

I love heading to the grocery store and finding 2/$1 mangos, then going home and making a big batch of this fresh mango salsa.

Fresh mango salsa in 3 easy steps

Making mango salsa is easy. All you have to do is chop a few ingredients then add them to a bowl, stir and grab some chips for dipping!

  1. Chop your produce. Use one of these methods for easily cutting your mango, this one for perfectly cutting an avocado, and this one for your red onion. Easy!
  2. Mix your ingredients. Stir in diced red pepper and some fresh chopped cilantro.
  3. Add some flavor. You’ll also want to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice, plus salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. YUM!

Don’t forget this tip when making fruit salsa

My #1 tip when making a fresh fruit salsa is to be sure that your produce isn’t overly ripe. Super ripe mango and avocado will easily break and become mushy in the salsa, so opt for fruit with some firmness to it.

You can top grilled chicken, salmon, burrito bowls, grain bowls, mix in with quinoa or even use it on top of salads. Here are some of our favorite recipes that pair perfectly with this mango salsa:

Storing tips

Store any leftover mango salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The lime juice helps the avocado stay nice and green!
