Tangy Mango Salsa: A fresh take on a Mexican classic

This is another one of my husband’s legendary recipes, y’all. His tangy mango salsa is one of our favorite summer dishes. We make it year-round, but it’s best during the summer months when mangoes are in season.

Mango tip: When using fresh mangoes off season, add a 1/2 tsp of sugar to your recipe to make them sweeter. Let it sit about 15 minutes before serving.

We serve this mango salsa as a side dish with my husband’s almost world famous Asian Turkey Burgers.

It tastes great as an appetizer with tortilla chips, too. Or, over rice as a side dish, with chicken, between the buns on regular burgers… or straight out of the bowl! Yes, I’ve been caught many times eating a bowl of mango salsa!

It’s so good. Sweet — but not too sweet, tangy, zippy.

You can even modify this recipe, chopping the tomatoes and mango in larger pieces to make this a “salad.”

Tangy Mango Salsa

This recipe uses fresh mangoes, roma tomatoes, sweet onion and fresh cilantro to create a tangy accompaniment for many dishes. It's great with poultry, summer burgers or as a substitute for traditional salsa with chips.
