    This easy mango pico de gallo uses fresh ingredients like sweet mangos, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers to make the perfect delicious salsa recipe.

    This homemade mango pico de Gallo recipe isn't like traditional pico de Gallo recipes, it uses fresh mangos and red onions instead of tomatoes and white onions for a fun tropical twist. Classic pico de Gallo ingredients use flavorful tomatoes and white onions.

    Being a Texas girl, I love Mexican food and Mexican salsa! You might be able to 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 simple ingredients like juicy mangos, fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, spicy jalapeño, and red onion, this easy pico de Gallo recipe makes such a nice colorful salsa that is the perfect side dish choice for all your Mexican recipes.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients to make mango pico de gallo.

    Substitutions

    Red onion- You can use white onion or yellow onion.

    Red bell pepper- You can use green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, or orange bell pepper.

    Jalapeños- You can use serrano peppers, which 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. If you don't like spicy then you can omit the jalapeño altogether.

    Mangos- If you can't find any fresh mangos, you can use fresh tomatoes. Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes would work great.

    Step by step

    3. Dice a large red onion and bell pepper and add them to the mixing bowl.
