    Why This Recipe Works

    It is nearly impossible to think of any food that is fresher than salsa. Salsa is a collection of the freshest ingredients around and I could eat it in about a zillion different ways and every day of my life. This Mango Jalapeno Salsa is a new favorite.

    I love the added spice from the jalapenos that so perfectly complements the juicy, sweet mangoes. And the crunchy cucumber? Oh my, it sends the fresh flavors over the edge.

    This fresh mango salsa is the perfect addition to any party table, and it is also a great healthy recipe to hang out in the fridge throughout the week.

    How To Make Mango Jalapeno Salsa

    Simply combine the following ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well:

    • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped
    • 1 tomato, chopped
    • 1 cucumber, chopped
    • 1/2 of a red onion, chopped
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve!

    Recipe Notes

    • If mangoes are not in season and you still want to make this tasty salsa, replace fresh with frozen or substitute with another sweet fruit such as pineapple, grapes or mandarin oranges.
    • Squirt extra lime juice and sprinkle salt and pepper over the top just before serving!
    • It tastes amazing when thrown over grilled chicken, grilled salmon or a leafy salad. It also tastes delicious in a lunch wrap, fish tacos or even eaten as a solo salad. My favorite way to enjoy it is to scoop it up with salty tortilla chips!
    • This mango salsa recipe is 100% gluten free!
    • For an added touch of YUM, add diced avocado or black beans to the mix!
    • Spice it up! Add an extra jalapeño if you’re feeling saucy!
    • Replace the cucumber with extra onion and cilantro for a less crunch salsa.
    • Be sure to chop everything up as small as possible if you are enjoying this as a dipping salsa.

    How To Tell If A Mango Is Ripe

    There’s nothing worse than arriving at the grocery store and not knowing how to pick the best fruit. Time isn’t always available to wait for fruit to ripen, am I right? There are two simple ways to know if you are selecting a mango that’s ripe and ready to enjoy immediately.

    First, mangoes that are ready to eat will have a stronger aroma than ones that aren’t quite ready, especially near the stem (closest to where it was plucked from the tree).

    Also, when you give the mango a gentle squeeze, you will be able to feel it give a little underneath your fingers. If it is rock solid, it is not ready. Mushy? Too ripe. But if it gives just a little bit under the pressure of your touch, it is ready to eat! The more you do this, the better you’ll get at determining when the succulent fruit is ready for consumption!

    How To Ripen A Mango

    If you see mangoes on sale at your local grocery, pick some up and let them finish the ripening process at home. Be sure to store them at room temperature, preferably in an enclosed, dark paper bag. Refrigerating them will slow down the ripening process, so keep them on the counter for best results.
