The ingredients

This mango pico de Gallo has a combination of fruity and savory flavors in one bite. Here’s a list of ingredients you need:

• Mango. Don’t use ripe mango, or you’ll end up with a mushy, watery texture
• Onion. I prefer red onion to add more colors
• Tomato for colors, bright acidity, and umami flavor
• Cilantro for an excellent herby taste
• Lime, salt for a zing flavor

What goes with mango salsa

Fresh mango salsa makes the perfect condiment for so many dishes. They’re perfect for salmon tacos, shrimp tacos, chicken fajitas, taquitos, and more, including salad.

And if you’re not into meat, enjoy this over jackfruit tacos!

Not a fan of tacos? Serve this as a dip with chips or crackers. My current favorite is Crunchmaster crackers. So good, especially since they’re gluten-free, egg-free, non-GMO, and kosher.

Storing

You can refrigerate mango salsa for 2-3 days in an airtight container; however, the texture might change.

Can I freeze mango salsa

You can freeze it in an airtight container, but the texture will change; hence, I don’t recommend freezing it.

So light, delicious, and flavorful, this fresh and easy mango salsa tastes like summer on a chip and very addictive!
