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!

I would try some new cheeses and deli meats.
gaby
I love whole foods! And mango salsa is my favorite. I’d probably spend it on nut butters, vegan marshmallows, and treats I don’t usually splurge on.
Lynnly
Mangoes go great in smoothies, making them smooth and creamy. I’d also like to try making a mango coconut ice cream!
Lynnly
***Making them smoothER!
Sarah R.
I would use it to get meat.
Jill

WF! We usually get Annie’s mustard, seafood, and bok choy there. Yum!
nancy
Coconut oil please.
Maria Dam
Thanks for the recipe and the giveaway opportunity!
Debbie
I am a regular customer at Whole Foods but what I go there the most for is their meats. I trust what I buy from them. It is the only place I will buy fish!!
Allyson Sipple
The mango salsa looks delicious. i would buy mangos, avocados, local beef, kombucha and more
Gail Voteau
Mmmm, we’ve gone through so many mangos the past couple of weeks! Our Whole Foods has them right in front of the door, and I always pick up several as I walk in. So far we’ve just been eating them straight, but I’m starting to think it’s time to try something new.
As for how we’d use a gift card, well, we do a HUGE part of our shopping at Whole Foods. Our typical list for the store includes avocados, dairy products, bison, ice cream (love the store brand!), bulk oatmeal and other grains, coconut oil, mineral water, and store brand ginger ale.
Magda
I shop at WF almost every week so I’d probably just splurge on some stuff I don’t buy normally… maybe some exotic mushrooms or stock up on Kerrygold butter..
Samantha
That salsa looks delicious, perfect for a hot summer day coming up. I would buy some grass fed meats with my whole foods gift card.
Ruth H.
I love the produce at Whole Foods! It is also one of the only places in the area that has a variety of different meats such as buffalo and lamb and I know they are concerned about what kind of farm they purchase from.
meredith
I would stock up on some local in season produce and hit their cheese section
Sherry
Definitely produce and some grains from the bins
Becca F
I’d stock up on loads of fresh produce
Heidi
I’d probably use it to buy special food for a weekend away with my husband.
Tracy Spangler
I would absolutely buy some Redmond Bentonite Clay- they only sell it there! I’d stock up on some herbals I’d like to try to boost my immune system like Astragalus. I would have to get lots of produce for my girls, who can eat an entire watermelon in one day if I let them! I’m not sure if they sell beeswax, but if so I’d love to get more so I can make some salves for pain and lip balm. I’d splurge just a bit on some essential oils, and lastly I’d finally buy some goat milk yogurt to try- my 2-year old is allergic to all but goat milk, and she doesn’t get to eat the yummy yogurt her big sister does, so I’d love to get a chance to buy her some yogurt of her own! Thank you!
Suzie C
Lots of spring, fresh friut and vegis and maybe something fun, cchocolate or a special treat

I’d buy raw coconut water to make kefir with, and probably some meat.
