Mango Salsa - Vegan recipe hero image

Whenever I make this Mango Salsa, I’m transported to summer days spent outdoors with friends and family.

It’s such a vibrant dish that brings everyone together, and I always think of my dear friend who introduced me to it at a potluck.

One personal tip: using perfectly ripe mangoes makes all the difference in flavor, so trust your instincts when picking them out!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using ripe mangoes that give a little when you press them. They should be fragrant and slightly soft. You can swap in other peppers if you prefer a different heat level, or even add diced avocado for creaminess!

Tips & Notes

  • I always keep my salsa in a glass jar – they stay fresh for days and look pretty on the table!
  • A little extra lime juice can brighten it up if it sits too long.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll throw in diced cucumber for an extra crunch and freshness.
  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I add a dash of cumin for a smoky flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a little stir before serving again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this salsa ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just keep in mind that the mango will soften over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh. I usually make it a few hours ahead and store it in the fridge.
