Mango Salsa
We love mangoes in this house. My husband always orders Mango Italian Ice for dessert when we are out and about and the kids and I eat dried mangoes like they are going out of style. Mangoes have such a fresh and tropical taste to them that they brighten up any dish they are added to. We love to eat Mexican food and create our own salsas and it wasn’t too long until our love for Mangoes and Mexican food combined to create these amazing salsas. I love them both and in fact, we often make both at the same time for some variety.
Mango Salsa – Pico de Gallo Style
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4-5 green onions, sliced
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp finely shredded lime peel
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper.
Smooth Mango Salsa
1 mangos, peeled and chopped
1 Tbsp honey
1½ limes, juiced
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic
2 green onions, chopped
Mango Salsa Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and stir to combine. The end results should look like a brightly colored pico de gallo, with large chunks.
Smooth Mango Salsa Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend on high for a couple minutes until it takes on a salsa-like consistency. There shouldn’t be any large chunks, but it also shouldn’t turn into a sauce.
Serve on tacos, with chips or anything else that suits your fancy!
