Choose the right mangoes.

Customize to your preference.

The beauty of making mango salsa is that it’s totally customizable. If you want a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño. If you prefer a sweeter salsa, add a bit of honey or brown sugar. You can also add other ingredients to the mix such as diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or even avocado. Experiment with different flavors until you find a combination that you love.

Pair with the right foods.

Mango salsa is a great accompaniment to many foods. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp. You guys know by now that I love serving this spicy mango salsa with my infamous Cuban Chicken & Black Bean Rice Bowls. It can also be used as a dip for tortilla chips or even as a topping for tacos. You can use it as a condiment for burgers or sandwiches too. The possibilities are endless. Get creative and try it with different dishes to see what works best for you.

Store it properly.

Mango salsa is best eaten immediately after making it, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day or two. Make sure to transfer it to an airtight container and keep it chilled. If you notice any changes in the texture or color, discard it immediately.

Sweet and spicy mango salsa is a perfect summer snack. Making it is easy and requires only a few ingredients that most of you have in your pantry or fridge.
