Fresh Mango Tomato Salsa

How to Make Tomato Mango Salsa

This recipe for spicy tomato mango salsa calls for very simple ingredients, but they pack a punch and create a flavorful dip. You can find the full list of ingredients with their measurements in the recipe card below, but essentially all you have to do is chop up the following and stir to combine.

• Fresh Tomatoes — A paste variety, like Plum or Roma tomatoes, work best. They’re less watery, have fewer seeds and more flesh, and will provide chunkier pieces of tomato.
• Ripe Mango — Use any variety of mango you have on hand. If it’s not mango season, sub in frozen mango that’s been thawed and drained of its excess moisture.
• Jalapeño Pepper — For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in. For a milder salsa, remove the white ribs and seeds before finely dicing.
• Garlic — Since this is such a simple recipe, I recommend using fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for the most aromatic flavor.
• Green Onions — You could also use finely chopped red onion, but I prefer using milder green onions so the mango and tomato can really shine.
• Fresh Cilantro — Use only the leaves and tender stems.
• Fresh Lime Juice — If your limes are hard, here are my tips for squeezing the most juice from them.

⭐️ Ingredient Substitutes You Can Try ⭐️

• Mango — For a different flavor profile, replace with ripe peaches or pineapple.
• Green onions — Can be swapped with minced red, yellow, or white onion.
• Jalapeño —You can also try serrano peppers, poblano peppers, anaheim peppers, or roasted peppers. If you don’t want the recipe to be spicy, try green bell peppers or red bell peppers.
• Avocado — Cubed avocado adds a cool creaminess that I love!
