This mango salsa recipe is made with fresh, healthy ingredients making it a low fat, oil-free recipe. I love the combination of tropical fruit, creamy avocado, crunchy red onion and tart lime juice. The addition of mango and passionfruit is so wonderful and a bit different to normal tomato salsa.
Ingredients
It’s a tropical salsa, so think of incredible tropical fruit! You can adapt this recipe to your liking.Mango – I have used fresh Alphonso mangoes but you can use any depending on the season. You need mangoes that are firm enough to hold their shape
Pineapple – You can use fresh or tinned pineapple here.
Passionfruit – add the pulp of a passionfruit for a little crunch and an incredible delicious tangy yet sweet flavour.
Avocado – use a ripe but firm avocado. My personal favourite is Hash variety, but you can use whatever available.
Red Onion – adds colour, texture and sweet flavours to the salsa.
Jalapeno – with sweet and tangy flavours, we definitely need to add some a fiery kick to this salsa. Use either fresh or bottled. The spice level between jalapeno varies so check yours before using.
Either chop them up small or keep the jalapeno in slices. I like to keep them as slices so that people can easily spot them and take them out if they wish.
Lime – Juice of a lime is the backbone for this recipe. If you can’t find lime juice, use lemon but do not skip dressing up your salsa without either of these two!
Cilantro/Coriander – aromatic and fresh coriander not only tastes so great but lends texture, colour and flavours and make this salsa so vibrant.
Seasoning – salt and freshly ground pepper to your taste.
Optional
Cucumber (if adding then use English cucumber)
Mango Salsa with Tomatoes – add chopped salad tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes
Mango Salsa without cilantro – if you cannot find fresh coriander or do not like it, then you can leave it out.
Bulk it up with black beans or quinoa.
How to make Easy Mango Avocado Salsa
This recipe is quick and easy and comes together in a whizz. Just prep all of the ingredients and toss in a bowl. Check out my Mango Cheesecake Lassi recipe, If you want to know how to cut a mango into cubes? You can either dice up off the ingredients pretty small or keep them chunky. Use a mandoline to speed things up if you plan on making a big batch. I like to leave the salsa to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to mingle.
