Reviews
I used fresh Mint instead of Cilantro because I don’t like my salsa soapy tasting. (Cilantro does that to a lot of people).
I like a different spin on salsa and this one is really good. I added pineapple as well to bring up the sweetness. My mangos weren’t super sweet so this helped. Great on its own. Im also going to try it on pork later this week. Good stuff!
It was not as spicy as I anticipated. I will make it again adding more peppers
Delicious, refreshing, easy!
Made this today for first time. Absolutely awesome!!!!
I made this leaving out the chilies due to food intolerance. This was wonderful. I served it over pecan coconut crusted cod. I had some salsa leftover so I added an avocado and ate it for lunch the next day.
This is so fresh and light, served it with pan-fried fresh walleye and steamed baby potatoes from the garden. The only thing I changed was parsley for the cilantro. Excellent!
The guests loved it. The mangos were sweet and the lime put the right zest into it.
I added a tomato. It was fantastic!
Wow! I had my doubts going in, but this was really delicious! I tried my first ever taste of mango the other day, just because I’d seen a really cool way to peel them. I was not crazy about mango solo, so thought I’d try some kind of salsa to use it up. I only had the one mango, so reduced the recipe accordingly. I am really kind of astounded how good this salsa is! Next time, I will make the full batch.
Very good.
Deliziosa!! I used less onions and garlic but it was still very tasty. The kids loved it over baked salmon.
Received so many compliments! I used the same ingredients but different ratios.
The only thing I would change is to use a little less vinegar, but, I will make it again.
while we enjoyed this salsa i felt like it was just average.. i used a red onion and added a bit of chopped up red bell pepper and some lemon for extra zing.. took the advice of others and sprinkled in some cumin.. not sure what i was expecting but this did taste fresh and that’s what we were looking for.. ty for the recipe
I love the many salsa I see with mango and this was a new one with the cucumber. I used some red onion, pickled jalapeno with the seeds, and doubled the lime juice.
Love it.
Very good. I’m going to add more jalapeno the next time.
Who would think mango and cucumber would go together? But they do, very well, in this recipe. I used poblano pepper instead of jalepeno because I don’t like hot but otherwise didn’t change a thing. Yum!
Added Roma tomato and just as good! Refreshing and the hit of sweetness from the mango is awesome
Loved it! Simple to make and love the salty sweet taste between the salsa and tortilla chips. Will definitely make again.
