How to Make Chunky Mango Salsa

It’s straightforward to prepare this recipe with mangos and peppers. Once you have all the ingredients ready, you can dice the mango, onion and bell pepper. Slice the red chilli into thin rings.

Combine the lime juice, honey and cilantro with some salt and black pepper if needed. Now you can serve it but I prefer to let it sit for a while so the flavours meld nicely.

Whether you call it a dip, a dressing or even mango chutney, this salsa made with fresh mangoes is so good. The sweet flavours of the mango and honey contrast so well with the savoury bell pepper and onion flavours. Then you have the chilli pepper in there for a spicy kick.

The Easiest Way to Chop a Mango

Mangoes have a big pit in the middle. One easy way to slice it is cut all 4 sides off around the pit. Cut a crosshatch pattern in the flesh of each slice. Finally use a spoon to scrape off the mango cubes.

Optional Mange Chutney Additions and Variations

This recipe with mangos can be tweaked however you wish. Try adding some chopped avocado or corn kernels. Black beans would be good too.

Green apple or chopped peanuts, pistachios or cashews would add an interesting flavour and texture. Those aren’t traditional salsa ingredients but hey, it’s your recipe!

You can use any kind of chilli pepper in here. Perhaps you’d prefer jalapenos or serranos. Feel free to switch the green bell pepper for another colour. I love the savoury flavour of green bell pepper in this otherwise sweet recipe but you might like to use red or yellow instead.

Chunky Mango Salsa Tips and Tricks

• Use ripe mangoes for this Mexican fruit salsa. Ripe ones will be perfectly juicy and sweet. Unripe ones will be bland and stringy.
• Puree leftover salsa to make a tasty sauce for grilled fish or chicken.
• If you aren’t sure how much chilli to add, add half a chilli pepper at a time. It’s easy enough to add more.
• It tastes best the day it’s made. But you can refrigerate leftover salsa made with fresh mangoes for up to 3 days. I’d be surprised if you have leftovers though!
• Although this will freeze, the texture when thawed will be mushy. If you are set on freezing it, puree it first then serve it as a sauce.
• If you are in a rush and don’t have much time to make this summer salsa recipe, you might not want to dice everything. You can roughly chop the ingredients in a food processor at a pinch.

This chunky mango salsa would pair beautifully with any Mexican dish made with fresh ingredients. It is good with light meats like chicken, turkey or pork. It’s also nice on salad.

Making a sandwich with deli meat? Then try adding some salso to that. Or fill warm corn tortillas with shrimp, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. Then add this mango chutney on top – yum!

Ideas for Leftover Mangoes

If you have fruit left over after making this summer salsa recipe with mangoes, there are plenty of uses for them. Add mangoes to your breakfast cereal or enjoy them with vanilla ice cream. You can add chopped mango to salads and desserts or even enjoy it by itself for a sweet treat.
