When we think of salsa we think of salsa with a tomato base which is very popular when served with chips at parties and get together. This sweet and savory mango salsa is a perfect blend of juicy mango, onions, tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos and cilantro all tossed together and seasoned with lemon juice, paprika and seasoned salt to bring out the flavors.
This salsa is very colorful, bright, easy and simple to put together. Normally I love to use this tropical fruit to make mango custard or mango smoothies and other deserts. This salsa is a good switch from the traditional salsa to a burst of colors in the salsa.
It is important to select ripe mangoes that are still quite firm so that they can hold their shape in the salsa. If the mangoes are soft then they will end up with a mushy texture in the salsa. Mango salsa is perfect when served as a dip for chips or a topping for fish tacos or grilled chicken. I made this salsa to compliment my creamy grilled chicken (which will be published on Wednesday).
