What makes my Mango salsa recipe different from others online is it's smooth salsa consistency, as opposed to a pico-de-gallo consistency. I love the texture and the way the flavors blend when pureed together and I love the added touch of flavor from a dash of cider vinegar. You can make the salsa mild, medium or hot depending on how you add the jalapeño.
Ingredients:
- Fresh mangos: Check for ripeness by gently squeezing it. A ripe mango will be slightly soft but not at all mushy (similar to how you might check an avocado or peach for ripeness). Smell it near the stem, looking for a sweet aroma, and choose a round, plump mango over a lean, flat one.
- Red onion: these have a mild flavor that's perfect for salsa and I love the color it adds. Substitute a yellow onion or a sweet onion if needed.
- Red bell pepper: Adds color and crunch….
- Cilantro
- Jalapeño: for mild salsa, remove the seeds and membrane inside the jalapeño; for spicier salsa, leave all or part of the seeds and membrane.
- Lime: fresh lime juice give the best flavor
- Cider vinegar. Substitute white vinegar or rice vinegar if necessary.
- Salt

Lauren, you are one of the few go-to blogs/recipes for me. Question on this salsa. Could you use frozen mangoes? If so, how much?
Thank you so much for your kind words! You can absolutely use frozen mangoes for the salsa. Just make sure to thaw them first and drain any excess liquid. You’ll want to use about the same amount—around 3 cups of diced mango. The salsa might be a bit softer than with fresh mangoes, but it will still be delicious!
Love theme
So the company I work for does an annual cook-off every new year and this year we chose salsa! I decided to bring your salsa recipe and won out of 8 different salsas! I’m so glad the judges liked it as much as I did. It was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Delicious!
Different from the other mango salsas I saw online and just what I was looking for! So good!
