This refreshing, easy mango salsa recipe is a summer must-try! With bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice – it’s sweet & spicy, vibrant, fresh, and ready in minutes!

Mango season is here, and while I usually enjoy it in sweet dishes (like mango tart, a mango smoothie, or coconut mango rice), did you know it’s the perfect ingredient for whipping up one of the best summer salsa recipes?! This fresh mango salsa recipe (like a mango Pico de Gallo) is simple, fresh, and tastes like summer.

Plus, you only need 7 ingredients (plus salt and pepper) and a few minutes to pull it together. Once assembled, this mango jalapeño salsa is a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, refreshing, juicy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor and texture.

Yes, yes, yes! Not only does this recipe for mango salsa taste amazing, but it’s low-fat, high-fiber, and loaded with good-for-you ingredients. Mango alone is an impressive source of antioxidants and several nutrients like vitamins A, B6, and C, and also contains iron, zinc, calcium, and vitamin E.

Combined with other nutrient-dense ingredients like tomatoes and bell pepper, this simple, homemade mango salsa carries some hefty health benefits. It’s also diet-friendly; gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, whole30, and paleo, making it a simple, delicious, crowd-pleasing condiment or side with chips, tacos, and proteins (perfect for cutting through spicy dishes!) at BBQs, potlucks, picnics, and taco Tuesdays!

Alternatively, leave the peel on, slice away the cheeks, use a sharp knife to score the flesh (about every ¼-inch apart in a grid pattern). Then press the peel side to invert the fruit (like a hedgehog) and slice/scoop the diced pieces away from the peel.

For the best flavor, allow the flavors to meld and develop in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.

While fresh mango salsa is a popular topping/side for fishy dishes, it’s also a super versatile addition to a vegan diet with:

Make ahead: The flavors in this homemade mango salsa recipe will taste even better if given an hour or two to meld.

Store: Once assembled, store the mango tomato salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, though it’s best within 1-2 days.

I don’t recommend freezing the mango tomato salsa, as the ingredients will likely become overly mushy once thawed.
