Today I’m sharing a fresh mango salsa recipe that will make any small gathering extra special. It’s also a delicious way to get more fruit and veg into an appetizer or meal. I love easy recipes that I can throw together with little effort, and this one always turns out just the way I like it.

I’ve been on the go so much lately, and I’m really hungry for healthy dishes. Do you ever feel that way too? It’s like my body is craving something other than carbs for a change.
One thing I like about this simple mango salsa recipe is that it is so easy to modify. I have a few suggestions for you in the recipe notes below.
Fresh Mango Salsa Recipe
- 2 cups mango cubed
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup little green onions sliced
- 1 medium jalapeño chopped
- 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- salt and pepper
- Combine cubed mango, quartered tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped jalapeño and chopped cilantro in a serving bowl.
- Mix together apple cider vinegar, fresh squeezed lime juice and honey and pour over mango mixture. Toss lightly, then add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in the refrigerator. Before serving, gently stir to distribute the juices that sink to the bottom of the bowl.
- You can be make this recipe the day before, and stored up to three days in the refrigerator.
Mango Salsa Recipe Notes
When I have time, I like making this recipe in the morning to serve later in the day, which allows the juices from the tomatoes to release and mingle.
As you can see I like my salsa chunky, but you may want to cut your ingredients a bit smaller.
Optional Add Ins
Here are a few suggestions for add ins to change up the recipe from time to time. Depending on how much you add to the salsa, you may want to increase the vinegar, lime, and honey.
- can of black beans rinsed
- avocado
- cucumber
- substitute a red onion for green onions
To keep the avocado from getting too mushy, add it right before serving.
Serving Suggestions
I’m perfectly happy eating a bowl of mango salsa with tortilla chips, but there are so many options worth trying. Imagine how delicious it will taste with grilled chicken, shrimp, barbecue beef, and even enchiladas. I could go on and on folks!
You can even serve it as a yummy salad on a bed of lettuce. How’s that for delicious meal idea?
