Why Mango Salsa?
Mango salsa is not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Mangos provide vitamin C and fiber, while fresh cilantro and lime add antioxidants and flavor without added calories. It’s a light, healthy option that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or as a standalone snack.
Pairing Ideas
This versatile salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish, adding a fresh, tropical twist to your plate. It’s also fantastic spooned over tacos, mixed into salads, or served alongside roasted vegetables. For a fun party appetizer, serve it with whole-grain crackers or baked tortilla chips.
Storage Tips
To keep your salsa fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal flavor and texture. The lime juice helps preserve the color and freshness, but the salsa may release some liquid over time—just give it a quick stir before serving again.
Tip: For an extra kick, add diced jalapeño or a sprinkle of chili powder!
