    Easy mango salsa recipe | Mango pico de gallo

    Fresh mango salsa is a summer salad with a difference. You can use it whenever you cannot find avocado for guacamole. It is tasty and crunchy. Filled with sweet and sour punches. A great way to enjoy it even in taco shell if you get bored of avocado dip.

    Mangoes are sweet generally. However, some people find it very sweet. This is a great way to relish the firm mangoes with crunchy cucumbers and juicy tomatoes. Slightly sour lemon juice adds to the balance of this delicate relish. This way you can minimize the sweetness of mangoes and make it more delicious. You can even add pineapple, peaches or avocado to this Mexican mango salad.

    Mexican food really balances their veggies so well. Be it sweetness, sour and tangy lemons and hint of jalapeños. It is made with fresh ingredients which make food so interesting. There is raw element too which adds to the fiber content in your meal. It is simple to make and yet delicious without relying solely on meat.

    Benefits of mangoes

    • Full of calcium and Vitamin A.
    • Great for eyes and clears skin.
    • Fights cancer.
    • Eases constipation as it is loaded with fiber.
    • Helps in digestion and improves gut health.
    • Boosts immunity as it has loads of Vitamin C.
    • Lowers cholesterol.

    What do you eat salsa with?

    It is a perfect match to your tacos. Add it to your burrito bowl or have it with corn chips or air fried tortilla chips. You can eat it with to burgers and chips. Serve fresh salsa as chaat or on masala papad. Eat as salad just with any curry or make a yummy Mexican chili. I find it very refreshing. It is also great way to up your energy mid-day.

    Variations

    You can use canned sweet mango slices if you cannot find fresh one. Add jalapenos to add some heat to the salad.

    Substitutions

    If mangoes are not in season, make the same with peaches and pineapples. Winter salad tastes great with stone fruit or plums. If you can't find peaches, make an apple salsa.

    Storage

    Store it in refrigerator for 1-2 days. Although we suggest it is best to have it fresh.

    Top tip

    Always add salt just before serving so that you can enjoy the crunch for long time.
