Whether scooping up this mango salsa recipe with homemade tortilla chips or adding a spoonful to crispy fish tacos, we can never get enough of its sweet and spicy taste. If you’re a fan of making homemade tomato salsa or tomatillo-based salsa verde<\/a>, mango salsa is an essential variation to add to your repertoire. While other salsa recipes<\/a> require either cooking or a food processor or both to prepare, this fruit-based salsa is a quick, no-cook recipe<\/a> you can whip up in less than 15 minutes with nothing more than a sharp knife.<\/p>\n Our favorite time of the year to enjoy mango salsa is during summer when mangoes are at their peak, and the grill is often fired up in the backyard. Some of our favorite recipes to serve with mango salsa involve seafood, like grilled salmon in foil<\/a> and mahi-mahi or citrus-marinated chicken<\/a> over a bed of colorful greens and vegetables.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix them well. Serve the homemade salsa as desired, whether that’s with chips or spooned over grilled proteins.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Taste it before serving and adjust it to suit your taste preferences. Add extra jalapeno for more heat or extra lime juice for more acidity.<\/p>\n This mango salsa should be refrigerated in an airtight food storage container.<\/p>\n Mango salsa will stay fresh for three to four days in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before serving it again.<\/p>\n If you’re new to cooking with mangoes or are still trying to find the best way to peel and cut a mango, follow the stone. Mangoes have a flat, oblong stone that runs through them, so they can be tricky to cut for first-timers. While handy mango slicers exist, they are not necessary. All you need is a sharp knife to get the job done. For all of our best tips, check out our guide on how to cut a mango<\/a>.<\/p>\n A perfectly ripe mango should have a sweet scent near the stem and give a little when squeezed gently with your fingers. Mushy mangoes are overripe and won’t work well for mango salsa recipes (but you can toss them into a mango-ginger smoothie<\/a>). As far as color goes, mangoes change color from green to yellow, orange and\/or red depending on the variety. However, color alone isn’t the best indicator of ripeness and should always be considered along with the scent and softness of the fruit.<\/p>\n Mango salsa can be enjoyed with tortilla chips or fried wonton chips (like those from this crab rangoon dip<\/a>). Fish, shellfish and chicken are also natural partners for mango salsa. These grilled shrimp<\/a> would be a perfect pairing along with this grilled citrus salmon<\/a>. If you prefer chicken, try this mango salsa with some easy chicken tostadas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This fresh, tropical mango salsa recipe with bell peppers,
