Make colorful and delicious Mango Salsa in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. It’s perfect for dipping chips or for topping seared or grilled fish, fish tacos or even shrimp tacos!
Juicy mango, buttery avocado, crunchy red cabbage, sweet bell peppers, and zesty jalapeño are tossed with tangy lime juice, earthy cilantro, and a touch of extra virgin olive oil. It’s beyond tasty and entirely versatile.
What kind of a salsa eater are you? When you dip a chip, do you scoop out just enough salsa to coat a corner? Or do you scoop so much that your chip is barely visible? I’m the latter.
I love my salsas raw, chunky, and good enough to eat straight by the spoonful. This mango salsa qualifies.
When I’m planning to serve mango salsa as a dip for chips, I dice all of the ingredients quite small so they’re less likely to topple off. For topping seared fish or tacos, I make a coarser version.
How Do You Cut A Mango?
For cutting mangoes, this mango splitter is indispensable. It’s one of the few gadgets that’s really worth owning. Just cut a tiny slice from the mango bottom (to make it stable on end), center the splitter over the stem and in one downward motion you’ll have two beautiful halves of mango flesh separated from the core. I recommend peeling the mango before splitting it, but after is fine too. Whatever works best for you.

May 1, 2019 at 4:55 amHaha! Your question about salsa style made me laugh. As a kid, my family would occasionally go out for Mexican food. I would go all in on the salsa, while my sister would “dip” her chips in the salsa so carefully that I doubt any salsa ever got on the chip. Hilarious! Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure that’s how Robbie would dip his chips…if we could get him to dip ’em at all. 🙂
In other news, this mango salsa sounds delicious! Perfect for summer grilling season!

May 5, 2019 at 10:47 pmRobbie is such a character, David! It really is funny how different people are about how they ‘dip’ into salsa!
Thank you and yes! Perfect for grilling season!

Valentina says
April 29, 2019 at 9:47 pmThere’s no fruit I love more than mango. I’ve just started getting them again and they are getting sweeter and sweeter. Love that it’s the star of your salsa, and with all of the other brightly-colored ingredients, it’s beautiful! I love it with all of the savory dishes you mentioned, especially grilled fish, and I could really just eat it with a spoon. 🙂
Marissa says
April 30, 2019 at 7:38 pmI love mango too, Valentina! Thanks so much for your sweet comment!
