Fresh, packed full of flavor and just 4 ingredients, this Mango Salsa is just what summer ordered.
I used to have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about mangoes. Sure I would eat them if they were served, but I never really did a whole lot with them at home. Don’t get me wrong I always loved the flavor of them, but I was intimidated by them. I know, crazy huh? Intimidated by a mango?
Here’s a secret – I couldn’t cut a mango to save my life. The pit was a problem, and I would end up with half of the mango mangled and unusable. Then I discovered the mango splitter. Life changing, I tell you. And now I can’t get enough Mango Salsa.
Mangoes instantly transport me to a tropical state of mind. My favorite way to nosh on them is in this Mango Salsa. Just 4 ingredients chopped and diced in a bowl, sprinkled with salt and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. The spicy jalapeno is the such a perfect balance with the sweet, juicy mango and cilantro just makes every salsa better.
Any excuse I have to use chips instead of utensils puts this chip and dip loving girl is in heaven. But don’t you worry, this Mango Salsa is uber versatile. Eat it as an appetizer with lime tortilla chips or serve it with some grilled fish or chicken. Simple, fresh and flavorful…summer at its best.
Can’t get enough Mango? Neither can we.

I’ve been eyeing the mango slicer for a while, wondering if it was worth the purchase, and the cluttering of another kitchen tool in my drawers/cupboards. I love serving mango’s plain or in salad, but always get irritated when slicing. Sounds like this tool is worth it. Can’t wait to try this salsa. Sounds perfect for munching on with chips:)
HI Katie, I love my mango splitter, it truly has made a difference for me. In my opinion, definitely worth the drawer space!
I love mango salsa and I love that mango splitter! We eat a lot of mangoes and that thing really does help!! 🙂
Thanks for your note, Julia. The mango splitter rocks, especially for me who can’t cut a mango without one! 🙂
Wasn’t that package from OXO great??? I have yet to use the mango slicer, but I think I may have found a reason right here!
It was a fabulous package from OXO, we have used it a ton! Thanks for stopping by! Let me know how the mango splitter works for you!
Pretty much in love with this salsa, looks perfect for the summer!
Thanks Pamela! I love it in the summer too! Thanks for your note.
Mhmm I love a good, simple mango salsa! Goes great with chips, tacos and fish!
Isn’t it great how versatile it is?
Can I make it the day before
Yes, you can make it the day before. Sometimes I add a little more cilantro right before serving for the vibrant green color! Enjoy!
Try a little Frank’s Hot Sauce on mango. It takes two or three tastes. One has to give it a chance. It’s great, though!
