Description

Mango Pico de Gallo, or Chunky Mango Salsa, is a vibrant, refreshing twist on traditional salsa. Combining ripe mangos, juicy tomatoes, spicy jalapeños, and a zesty lime kick, this salsa is bursting with sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. Perfect for tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a side dish, it’s an easy-to-make recipe that’s sure to elevate any meal.


Ingredients

2 mangos, peeled, pitted, and diced (Ataulfo mangos preferred, but any variety works)

2 roma tomatoes, cored and diced

½ red onion, diced

1 jalapeño, diced (remove seeds for less heat)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

¼ teaspoon salt

1 lime, for zest and juice


Instructions

  • Peel, pit, and dice the mangos into small chunks. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.

  • Dice the roma tomatoes and red onion, adding them to the bowl with the mango.

  • Slice and dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat, and add it to the bowl.

  • Chop the cilantro and add it to the salsa mix.

  • Zest the lime and squeeze its juice into the bowl. Stir everything together.

  • Sprinkle the salt over the mixture and stir again to combine.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime, or cilantro as needed.

  • Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

Tropical Twist: Add diced pineapple or papaya for extra sweetness and a tropical touch.

Sweet and Spicy: Add a bit of honey or agave syrup for a sweet balance to the heat from the jalapeño.

Crunchy Addition: Add diced cucumber for a refreshing crunch and to mellow the heat.

Creamy Option: Stir in diced avocado just before serving for a creamy texture.
