This easy and delicious mango pico de gallo uses fresh ingredients like mangos, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers to make the perfect mango salsa recipe.
This pico recipe isn't like traditional pico de Gallo recipes, it uses fresh mangos and red onion instead of tomatoes and white onions.
Being a Texas girl, I love Mexican food and Mexican salsa! You can usually find fresh mango salsa in the produce section of your local grocery store, but there really isn't anything better than homemade fresh salsa. Made with juicy mangos, fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, jalapenos, red onion, and red onion, this easy pico de Gallo recipe is the perfect choice for a summer bbq.

Red onion- You can use white onion.
Red bell pepper- You can use green bell pepper.
Jalapenos- You can use serrano peppers, this will make this an extra-spicy salsa. If you like spicy flavors you can also use a habanero pepper and you will get a tasty mango habanero salsa.
Mangos- If you can't find any mangos, you can use fresh tomatoes. Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes would work great. Traditional ingredients in pico recipes use flavorful tomatoes.
Step by step
- Dice up the mangos into half inch pieces and add them to a large bowl. If you want an extra chunky texture then cut the pieces a little bigger.
- De-seed the jalapeno and dice it into small pieces and add it to the mixing bowl with the mangos.
- Dice the red onion and the bell pepper and add them to the mixing bowl.
- Chop the cilantro and add it to the mixing bowl.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the bowl and stir everything together.
- Optional- You can add a little bit of sea salt if you like.
