- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 small/medium jalopeño, finely diced
- 1 large lime juiced (=2-3 tbsp juice)
- 3 tbsp fresh orange juice (almost a full orange)
- 3 tbsp diced cilantro
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Dice your mango into small cubes (see photos above for step-by-step guide for how to cut a mango into small cubes for the perfect salsa).
- In a serving bowl, add all your diced ingredients and the juices.
- Gently stir until combined. Taste and add a little salt to your taste preference.
- If you have time, let the salsa rest in the fridge for 15 minutes for the flavors to meld. Honestly, this salsa tastes even better the next day! Store it up to 5 days in the fridge. Make sure to give it a good stir because a lot of the juices will settle to the bottom.
Notes
Pro Tips & Information
- Best Mango: I use the most common kind you can find in nearly any grocery store. These are called Tommy Atkins mangos and they are larger and juicy! You could also use Honey mangos which are also delicious, but these are about half the size, so I recommend using 4 mangos if you choose that smaller variety.
- Jalopeño: Did you know the spiciest part of a jalopeño isn't the seeds? It's actually that white inner membrane! So if you want a spicier mango salsa, leave that part in while you dice it. If you prefer milder version, cut it out.
- Orange juice: If possible, use a fresh orange for this for the most vibrant flavor. If you only have orange juice from a carton, it will still work - but there's nothing like the fresh stuff!
- A lot of people enjoy this salsa with diced red pepper or cherry tomatoes. Feel free to add this if you prefer!
