    • Mango Pico de Gallo

    You don't have to be hosting a tropical party this summer to enjoy one of the most fresh and delicious tasting salsas around! It's light, refreshing and so quick and easy to make in under 10 minutes. If you've ever had mango salsa, this is a similar recipe for a chunky style salsa.

    Although Aldi has a similar version that is pre-made under their Park Street Deli brand, I think homemade mango pico de gallo is an easy no brainer to make and tastes the best! There are even a few notes to show you how to customize it

    Serve it as an appetizer or a sauce. It is delicious to top mahi mahi fish tacos or chicken tacos or to top your favorite seafood dish like salmon or shrimp!

    ingredients for this recipe labeled to show mango, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, onion and salt.
    • Tomatoes: I used heirloom tomatoes for this recipe because that is what I had on hand. You can use any tomato to make mango pico de gallo, but my personal favorite are cherry tomatoes because they are easy to chop and they have less water than other tomatoes making them less runny.
    • Mango: This recipe specifically uses mango, although you can swap out mango for pineapple or strawberry and the recipe will still be delicious. To make prepping easier, I used jarred mango I got from Sam's Club and used a paper towel to soak up any excess moisture before chopping. Fresh or frozen, defrosted mango will also work.
    • Cilantro: Although a main ingredient in any salsa, cilantro can be omitted if you do not care for it.

    Recipe FAQs

    What is the difference between salsa and pico de gallo?

    Pico de gallo is a chunky salsa made with whole and raw pieces. Salsa is generally more liquid based as it is made with mainly cooked ingredients.

    What does it taste like?

    It tastes very similar to traditional pico del gallo with a burst of sweet mango. It is definitely on the sweeter side so adding in some jalapeno for heat is not a bad idea.

    What can I eat with it?

    I love to use it to top seafood dishes like mahi mahi fish tacos, salmon or shrimp. It is even delicious to eat with tortilla chips.

    How long does it last in the fridge?

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
