This vibrant Mango Habanero Salsa is a refreshing mix of sweet mangoes and fiery habanero peppers, balanced perfectly with fresh lime juice, garlic, and cilantro. It’s a zesty, flavorful salsa that’s quick to prepare and ideal for serving with tortilla chips as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Salsa Ingredients

  • 8 ounces diced mango (can be frozen and defrosted)
  • 2 limes, juiced (about 2 tablespoons of juice)
  • 1 small habanero pepper, very finely diced (seeds and white ribs removed for less heat)
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 of a red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and chop all ingredients, including dicing the mango and finely chopping the habanero (removing seeds and ribs if less heat is desired), garlic, red onion, and cilantro, ensuring everything is ready to combine.
  2. Mix Salsa: In a serving bowl, add the diced mango followed by lime juice, finely diced habanero pepper, minced garlic, finely diced red onion, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Rest the Salsa: Allow the salsa to rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully, enhancing the taste.
  4. Serve: Serve the mango habanero salsa chilled or at room temperature alongside tortilla chips for a fresh and spicy snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Adjust the heat by modifying the amount of habanero pepper or by removing the seeds and ribs, which contain the most heat.
  • Using fresh lime juice is preferred for the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch.
  • This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
  • Chopping by hand or using a food processor is optional; choose based on the texture you prefer.
