When I was growing up my mom tried to get me to try mangos. No dice. But, guess what we all grow up and revisit foods we may not of liked. Yay! I love mango. Yes, I am a convert. I think you will love this salsa recipe with mangos. It’s a hit in our house for barbecues. 

Mango Salsa Recipe

There is some peeling, chopping and dicing for this recipe. Ahem, but other than that it’s so EASY! You’ll have this done so quickly and it’s great served right away or pre-made in advance.

Get out the fresh stuff and let’s get to it. But, first if you have never peeled a mango it can be a bit messy. Then I saw this mango and apple peeling kitchen gadget. Um, I just might have to buy one. I haven’t yet. Do you own one? I’d love know if you think they are worth it. Usually I’m telling you what I like but, this time I’m doing the asking.

Any how, back to the recipe. You will need these items to make a small salad bowls worth. I should of measured for you but, my guess it’s 3-4 cups depending on the size of your fruits.

Directions

How to Make Mango Salsa

1. Wash and chop all your ingredients.
2. Put all your chopped ingredients into a bowl.
3. Add 10 grinds or less of pepper corns or 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
4. (optional pinch of sea salt) I omitted it.
5. Follow steps below

First Peel your mango and chop it up. I used the Vidalia Chop Wizard. Wash and chop half a red bell pepper, 2-3 green onions, 1 jalapeño (seeded). Peel and chop half a purple onion. Mix together. Peel and chop avocado and gently mix it in. Add pepper and salt. Half one lime to squeeze into the mixture. (printable recipe at end of post)

Kitchen Tools for making Salsa Quickly!

For today’s recipe we tried out the Vidalia Chop Wizard, As Seen On TV. I liked how it chopped up the red bell pepper, jalapeno, green onions all the fruits and veggies uniformly. It is super easy to use and clean. It comes with a scrapping tool that gets in the tough spaces to clean, which is super. It is dishwasher safe.

What was a little tricky was getting my red onion to chop with it. I think I’m not tall enough to give it the pressure it needed for chopping this item. I separated the layers a bit and then it worked fine for me. The other items no problem.

Benefits of using a chopper

Oh, I like how you don’t cry cutting onions! If you have a small baby in the room sometimes when your chopping at the end it will make a loud noise when pressed down quickly. No biggie, just if a baby is sleeping it might startle them. Mom tip!

I like it and will find it handy for making my salsas. I also like that it has a measuring cup when you tilt it up you can see the amount you have chopped. This is handy for me when writing recipes.

I do like that it has two size cutting blades in the chopper. I know I’ll be using this a lot for cucumbers, bell peppers, mushrooms and other salad ingredients especially as we head into spring and summer. There are two versions of this food chopper.

I hope you enjoy making and eating the Mango Salsa with your favorite tortilla chips or use the recipe as a topping for fish or chicken, inside tacos or with enchiladas.
