This is an absolute favorite salsa of mine. Sweet mangoes are paired with crisp red onions, flavorful cilantro and garlic, spicy jalapeno, and lime. It’s a simple mango salsa, but surprisingly complex and very flavorful. A great mix of sweet, spicy, savory, tart, and salty. Mango salsa goes well with grilled fish or chicken, is divine in tacos, lovely served with corn chips, and I’ll even enjoy it straight!
Whole Foods Gift Card Giveaway!
I’m sharing this today because Whole Foods Market asked if I’d like to do a gift card giveaway and a share a recipe using their mangos. And because I absolutely adore mangos, I said yes! (And I thought you all would love a chance to get a gift card too.). So gifted with my own Whole Foods card, I ran to my local store where they had a large display of mangos front and center. People, now is the time to buy mangos. These were some of the most perfect mangos I’ve gotten in a long time! Mine were perfectly ripe and tender. My particular store also had them at a great price.
All good reasons to enjoy mango salsa. We enjoyed our delicious salsa with organic corn tortillas, pan-fried organic chicken, and avocado. Delicious!
By the way, if you go to Whole Foods, look for (Amazon affiliate link) Jackson’s Honest Potato Chips. They are incredibly delicious and healthy, as they are fried in coconut oil. As a big fan of coconut oil, these are a favorite, and Whole Foods is the only place in my area that carries them. This potato chip company is a small company, and I love supporting the good food they are selling! (And nope, they didn’t even pay me to say that. 😉 )
Other Mango Recipes:
I love using mango in a variety of ways. It’s a delicious treat plain, but it’s also great in smoothies, popsicles, and more savory-sweet recipes.
Plus, If you haven’t tried a fruit based salsa yet, do it. They are so delicious! This mango salsa is my favorite fruit salsa, but this Black Bean and Pineapple Salsa is another lovely way to enjoy a fruit salsa.
- 3 small/medium ripe mangos
- Half a bunch of cilantro (I love cilantro so I used the big half)
- 1-3 garlic cloves, peeled and put through a garlic press
- 1-2 limes
- ¼-1/2 red onion
- ½- 1 jalapeno pepper
- Unrefined salt
- Using a small paring knife or vegetable peeler, peel the mangos, and then cut the mango flesh off the core (eating any of the mango flesh left on the core is cook’s treat). Dice the mango into small, bite-sized pieces, and put in a bowl.
- Wash, and shake dry the cilantro, and then cut the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop.
- Peel the red onion, and cut in half. Dice finely one half of the red onion. Add half of this amount to the bowl, and keep back the other half.
- Stem the pepper (you may want to either coat your hands with oil or use gloves to protect your skin), and cut in half. If you want it less spicy, remove the seeds. Chop really finely. Add to bowl.
- Cut the limes in half and sprinkle over this mixture and give a couple sprinkles of salt to the mixture as well. Gently mix. Taste test. Does it need more salt? More onions, more chopped pepper? More lime juice? More cilantro? Adjust flavors, if needed. Serve right away, or allow flavors to meld for at least one hour.
Congrats to our winner, Annette! I’ve just emailed you!

Years ago, I walked into a Whole Foods in Cambridge, MA and they were sampling a mango salsa – which I had never had at that point. I loved it, bought two containers and scarfed them down over the next couple of days. Went back and asked for the recipe. They connected me with a non-English speaking, Latin American woman who worked in the back of WF and had made this salsa as a treat for her co-workers. She couldn’t explain the recipe so she led me around the store picking up the ingredients and gesturing what to do with each! It was such a hit with her co-workers that they started selling it on the floor. And I became one of many who paid $6.99 for a small tub. I now make it at home but every once in awhile, I’ll dart inside to pick one up!

This sounds perfect! I’ve had the peach salsa at Trader Joes and like that, this sounds even better.

Kimi, thank you for all your hard work! I say that knowing that you love your kitchen, cooking & creating. But it is still time & effort spent on us as well as your sweet family. I would love to win this giveaway. This is my first time to try for one. I’m probably one of your oldest followers. I wish when I was a young mother there had been such easy access for healthy info for me to serve my family better. If I win this, I’ll take my Grandson & Granddaughter ,to Whole Foods, who love to cook in “Mamma’s” kitchen. We’ll go exploring to find something fun & healthy to cook together. I love teaching them about good food & healthy eating? Thanks again Kimi!
Michelle
I would use the Whole Foods gift card to purchase some grass-fed meat. In my area, Whole Foods is the best place to get a variety of grass-fed animal products. Thanks for the giveaway!
Aimee
to be honest – I would take my 14 year old out to lunch. We love filling up those cardboard containers and chowing on mexican/indian/veggies/salads/stuff we are too lazy to make at home because my husband won’t eat them so we’d have to make two meals 🙂 With the balance, I would buy fun things for my two littler ones and buy some fresh fruit like mangos, blueberries and strawberries for their favorite treat!
Jane
Need to stock up on meat
Abby
I love to just explore Whole Foods! So many fun and unique things to try it’s overwhelming.
