Recipe Wednesday: Mango Salsa

One of the things I love about beautiful weather and grilling season is Mango Salsa!  It’s a refreshing accompaniment to grilled chicken, pork, fish, shrimp or just straight up with some baked tortilla chips. 

It’s also super easy to make…

Mango Salsa

  • 1 large mango, diced
  • 1/ 2 red pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 jalapeno, finely diced (optional – I leave it out for spicy haters)
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse salt

Mix and serve!

* You can omit the olive oil and vinegar and it will still be fab!  For WW, I consider this a 0 PointsPlus addition to a meal, however it does come up as 2 PP when calculated with the eTools Recipe Builder.  Use your own discretion on how you would like to count it!

Have a great day, everyone!

Perfect recipe since mangoes are on sale in my grocery store :)

It depends on my mood whether I like it hot or mild. But both are good.

Marisa!
The salsa looks DELISH!! Yum!!!

And – I’ll do hot or mild (although I probably take mild a bit more often).

I’m a total wimp and like it mild and yours looks absolutely DIVINE! I’ve never had mango salsa but having recently realized I like mango I definitely want to try it!

6 Diane { 05.11.11 at 9:15 am }

Mild for me- aren’t mangos a brilliant way to take food to the next level taste wise ? So colorful, so tasty and so packed with vitamins !!!

7 Kathleen { 05.11.11 at 9:16 am }

I am a medium girl, hot but not too hot!:)

8 Mel { 05.11.11 at 10:18 am }

I like my salsa smoky and HOT.

But for fruit salsas, I’ll take them either way

9 Tami { 05.11.11 at 10:50 am }

I love mango salsa! I prefer my salsa to be medium-just a little heat for flavor but not too much.

The simple meals of warm weather are a welcome delight!

Mmmm, delish! I like salsa mild more than hot. I’m not a super huge hot person. I mean, I’m hot, but I don’t like hot stuff…well you get the idea!! :-P

12 Tonyne @ Unlikely Success Story { 05.11.11 at 1:16 pm }

I haven’t tried my hand at Mango Salsa…I do make a mean mango slaw though! As for the question, I like mine HOT. Go figure. ;)

13 fittingbackin { 05.11.11 at 2:28 pm }

YUM I love the idea of mango salsa – i’ve had it and loved it, but never made my own! Not too late I suppose! Thanks for the great recipe!

14 Aimee { 05.11.11 at 2:45 pm }

I’m making this salsa now!

15 Roz { 05.11.11 at 7:18 pm }

This looks so good. The recipe builder point calculations really confuse me…..WHY would this be 2 points if it is made of zero point foods. (I’ve had a couple of wonky calculations on there myself. Weird!!) Have a good day Marisa!!

16 Miz { 05.12.11 at 5:32 am }

When it comes to salsa the spicier it is, the better! Actually that’s how it is with all savory food. ;-)
I bet this Mango Salsa is so good! I’ve never made salsa from scratch before. Thanks for the recipe, Marisa! :-D

18 Patty { 05.12.11 at 12:38 pm }

OMG! Yummy recipe! I love Mango…I am so making this :) Thank you for sharing!

19 Nicole, RD { 05.12.11 at 1:34 pm }

We’re on the same page this week…salmon + mango! Your salsa looks delish! I love mango with red onion, so good!

20 Andrea@WellnessNotes { 05.12.11 at 2:11 pm }

The salsa looks & sounds great! I can imagine it with so many seafood dishes! Yum.

I love really spicy salsa, but hubby can’t handle spicy foods very well, so I usually make it quite mild… :)
