This freshly homemade salsa recipe is super easy to make and uses only a few ingredients!
There're mangoes in town, my friend! I know it may sound weird for those in the tropics, but let me tell you, getting well-riped mangoes over here without you breaking your bank calls for a celebration.
Today I'm sharing this homemade mango salsa recipe that I love making for my family when mangoes are in town!
You'll love this salsa recipe as it's quick to make with only a few ingredients. It's chunky, but you can definitely customize it.
We love the sweet-spicy flavor created by mango, ginger, and hot pepper. The freshness of the ingredients makes this salsa even more flavorful, with both parsley and cilantro adding their fresh aroma.
I prefer using cherry tomatoes because they don't give out their juice as such. If you're looking for classic restaurant-like salsa with lots of tomato juice, then opt for regular fresh tomatoes.
Homemade salsa with cherry tomatoes will hold well for a few days in your fridge, and it's easy to take to a summer party, potluck, or picnic.
Serve this zesty and bright homemade salsa with tortillas chips. We love them with a French baguette, but you can also serve it with less sugared grains like buckwheat, quinoa, or millet. I love it on this fennel recipe.
Make a huge amount of this mango salsa and enjoy it as a salad if you're on a weight loss program.
