This salsa is gluten free. I needed more! So I made this - Fresh MANGO salsa. BOOM! I had a couple of small mangoes in the refrigerator from just before I left for the Everything Food Conference in Salt Lake City this year - GREAT conference, btw - and when I returned, I realized I needed to use them up before they turned. I had a BUNCH of peppers in the fridge - SHOCKING, I know - along with fresh cilantro and figured, hey! I’m in the mood for salsa again! The thing is, you don’t really NEED a reason to make salsa. It’s good pretty much any time of the day and pretty much any occasion. I enjoy it as a quick and easy snack. Bust out the chips, yo! It’s ideal for any party situation, though, so if you have a game day celebration coming up, a birthday party, or any other reason for a get together, consider bringing this Fresh Mango Salsa so you can be the hit of the day. Especially with grilling season here. Break out the grills and get your mango salsa ready! Making it SERIOUSLY easy. It’s mostly just peeling and chopping! Pop them into a blender or food processor with the rest of the ingredients and pulse the mix a few times until you get the consistency you desire. If you want a chunkier salsa, only pulse it a few times. Keep blending for a smoother salsa. Adjust it to your personal taste with a pinch of salt and pepper and serve it up! NOW – this is a VERY FRESH salsa. You’ll notice the heat of the peppers here, as well as the pungency of the fresh onion and garlic. A few notes on this… However, if you’d like to dial back the heat level, skip the habanero pepper. You can also reduce or skip the serranos, and go with jalapeno peppers only. You’ll still get a nice kick from them. Also, instead of serving right away, add the salsa to a sealed container and refrigerate overnight. The flavors will mingle and the overall FRESH BITE will mellow a bit. You’ll still get plenty of freshness. You can also mix in some fresh diced mango to make the salsa a bit chunkier if you’d like. Feel free! But! Consider serving a fresh salsa like this over grilled foods. It really adds a pop of heat and flavor to many a dish. Try it over grilled chicken or pork, or toss a few scoops with grilled shrimp. Try it out on tacos, too. Did I hear fish tacos? Yes! It’s the perfect topping!
Can You Freeze Fresh Mango Salsa?
Fresh mango salsa doesn’t freeze very well, unfortunately. Because the ingredients are fresh, they will become soft and soggy once they are thawed. It is better fresh. However, if you make the cooked version of this recipe - see my Fiery Mango Salsa Recipe - then YES, you can freeze it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! If you make this, take a pic, share it with the world! Please tag #ChiliPepperMadness. I’ll love you forever! Check out our other Salsa Recipes, my salsa loving friends.
