🥘 Fresh Mango Salsa Ingredients
This recipe is all about using fresh ingredients! Make sure you pick up high-quality, fresh fruits and veggies for the best results!
- Mango - 3½-4 cups of diced fresh mango. For reference, one large mango yields about 1¼ cups when diced.
- Bell Pepper - 1 medium-sized red bell pepper, finely diced. On the other hand, you can swap this out for some diced tomatoes.
- Onion - ½ cup of finely diced red or white onion.
- Cilantro - ¼ cup of packed fresh cilantro that has been chopped.
- Jalapeno - 1 medium jalapeno. Remove the seeds and then mince the jalapeno.
- Lime Juice - ¼ cup of lime juice. For the best results, I recommend using the juice from a fresh lime as opposed to the bottled version (you'll need 2 large limes).
- Salt - ⅛ teaspoon of salt, to taste.

Yes! Mango salsa can be frozen. Simply put your salsa into a Ziplock bag and press out any excess air. Then, pop it into the freezer! It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready, just transfer it to the fridge to defrost overnight before serving.
I don't really recommend it. This salsa tastes best right after it is prepared! While it can be enjoyed for a few days when stored in the fridge, the fruit begins to become softer. If you need it further in advance, you can always prepare the salsa and freeze it.
