Mango-Habanero Salsa

How to Make the Best Mango-Habanero Salsa

This easy mango habanero salsa is the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and bright flavors. With juicy mango, fiery habanero peppers, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, this fruity salsa comes together in less than 20 minutes and makes an impressive addition to any summer gathering.

What makes this salsa so irresistible is the combination of fresh ginger and cilantro that brings everything together. The habanero peppers pack a serious heat punch, so start with one if you prefer a milder salsa and add more if you like things spicy. The beauty of fresh salsa is that you can adjust it to your taste preferences.

Serve this mango habanero salsa with tortilla chips, alongside grilled fish or chicken, or even as a topping for tacos and nachos. While you can eat it right away, the flavors really shine when you let it chill for a few hours in the refrigerator—this gives all the ingredients a chance to meld together beautifully.

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Add the diced mango to a food processor. Process until the mango reaches your desired consistency for a salsa.
  2. Move the processed mango to a mixing bowl. Add the habanero pepper, lime juice, red onion, grated fresh ginger, cilantro and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Store in an airtight container and chill until ready to serve. While you can eat it right away, allow it a few hours to let the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • Frozen mango works just as well as fresh and can be more convenient.
  • Adjust the number of habanero peppers based on your heat tolerance.
  • The salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
