I LOVE mango salsa. I was apprehensive about it at first but It’s so light and full of flavor! Since I’ve first tried it, I love using it on about anything: burritos, nachos, tacos, sandwich wraps, burgers –  it’s even delicious just eating it by the spoonful!Cucumber Mango Salsa #Spicy #Mango #Salsa

Who knew fruit other than a tomato goes great in salsa? The first time I even heard of mango salsa, my reaction was, “ummm, what? “. After trying it I was surprised that something like mango would go so well as a salsa. So I’ve concocted my own, and to liven things up a bit, I added some jalapeno and cucumber to it that really gives it a good bite and a mild spice that you’ll love!

This is such a quick and easy thing to make any night. Just chop everything up, mix it altogether and serve! I love having this or my pico de gallo handy during the week because it makes a quick dinner a little more special? Don’t have time to do anything for dinner? Cook up some quesadillas, with a side of beans and top it with some mango salsa!

And look at all the colors! Plenty of vitamins and nutrients to counteract that greasy quesadilla right?! I mean I’m no nutritionist, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it works. OK, maybe that’s not how it works, but I can always dream right?!

Prep

Cutting a Mango

I think the first time I tried cutting a mango I got pretty frustrated, thinking I could just cut it down the center without any problem. The fact is there is a hard center that you won’t be able to cut through. You’l want to cut the mango close to the center and along this hard “pit”. You can do this across 2 sides, and then get smaller spears if you want to get the full use out of 1 mango.

    THIS is what I call happy food! 🙂 So beautiful and so vibrant!

  3. I love mango salsa too and could eat it straight from the bowl. The colors in your salsa are beautiful!

  4. We love mango too…I started making mango salsa this summer too and now we can’t stop eating it. I pretty much always have mangoes in the house! I’m excited to have another salsa recipe to try!

  5. Sarah Caron says:

    What a lovely salsa. I love mango salsa — especially when it’s on the spicier side since the contrast of sweet and spicy is a favorite. I bet this would be great on grilled chicken.

  6. Andi G. says:

    This is a beautiful salsa. I love mango salsa but don’t think I’ve had it combined with tomato. Sounds like a delicious combo!

  7. CookinCanuck says:

    Mango salsa is one of my favorites, particularly on top of grilled fish or with shrimp tacos. The colors in your salsa are beautiful!
