Why You’ll Love This Salsa

  • Sweet and Spicy - There is truly no better flavor combo. The fresh and sweet mango pairs perfectly with the spicy flavors from the peppers. This is such an easy recipe to adjust the spice level to your liking as well!
  • Quick and Easy - This flavorful salsa uses only six ingredients and comes together in minutes! If you love quick, more traditional salsa recipes, try this Healthy Blender Salsa as well!
  • So Versatile - Not only can you switch up the ingredients of this salsa to make so many variations but this sweet and spicy salsa goes with so many great dishes! I often serve it with this Traeger Grilled Salmon or this Traeger Smoked Chicken Breast.

Ingredients Needed

Ingredient Notes

  • Ripe Mangoes - Make sure they’re soft but not too soft!
  • Habanero and Jalapeño Peppers - The jalapeño peppers add so much flavor to this delicious recipe while the spicy habanero peppers give this chunky mango habanero salsa the perfect amount of heat. You can use more or less chili peppers depending on how spicy you like your salsa.
  • Red Onion - for a milder salsa, you can also use a white onion in place of the red onion.

How To Make This Recipe

  • Peel and dice the mango and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl of a food processor, removing the stems from the hot peppers, and pulse until finely chopped.

  • Mix well until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Add additional salt and fresh lime juice to taste and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!

To make things easier, I prefer to use a mini food processor to very finely chop all ingredients and add to the diced mango. You can also simply use a knife to finely the cilantro, red onion, and jalapeños and then combine with the mango, lime juice and salt.

Mango Salsa Variations

This recipe is so versatile and can be made with all of your favorite ingredients!

  • Pineapple Mango Salsa - To make pineapple salsa use only one mango and add in a cup of diced pineapple as well! Fresh peaches would also be a perfect addition!
  • Add Tomatoes - if you love fresh tomatoes in your salsa, add 1-2 small diced tomatoes to the diced mangoes before mixing in the additional ingredients. This makes for a great tropical twist on pico de gallo salsa.
  • Add Bell Peppers - Another great addition to this salsa is a diced sweet red bell pepper.
  • More or Less Heat - You can adjust the spice level of this salsa by removing the seeds from the spicy peppers. Pro tip - be sure to wear gloves when doing so to keep the oils from burning your skin or transferring. You can also use more or less habanero peppers (or even scotch bonnet peppers!) for desired spice level or simply leave them out all together and use jalapeños only for a bit less spice.
  • Roasted Salsa - Another great variation of this recipe is to roast your ingredients (such as the tomatoes, bell pepper, chili peppers, and even mango!) and throw them all into a blender or food processor to pulse until smooth.
  • Smooth Salsa - As is, this is a chunkier salsa recipe. If you like a more smooth salsa, you can add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend it with a small amount of olive oil until sooth to your liking.

How To Serve This Salsa

One of the best things about this Mango Habanero Salsa is the versatility in serving it! It literally goes with anything. Serve it on taco salads, fish tacos, grilled chicken or fish or pair it with your favorite gluten-free chips for an easy appetizer!

Here are some other great dishes to serve with this salsa:

Recipe FAQ's

Can I use frozen mango for this recipe?

I recommend fresh mango for the best texture of this chunky salsa, but if you’re pressed for time or can’t find fresh mango, frozen mango is a great substitute! Be sure to allow the mango to thaw completely before dicing it and adding in the remaining ingredients.

How long does mango salsa keep?


This leftover salsa keeps great in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Keep in mind that as they sit, the mangoes will continue to soften which may affect the texture of the salsa!

How do you peel and cut a mango?


Making sure to pick a mango that is ripe but not too ripe (and soft), makes all the difference.

Mangoes have a flat oval-like pit in the center of it. You know you are cutting through it because the knife will give you resistance, where as cutting through the mango itself is like butter.

Start by cutting the sides of the mango away from the pit - you’ll be cutting off center on each side as opposed to straight down the middle. Then, while placing the mango half (mango side down) on your cutting board, simply use a sharp knife to cut the peel away from the outside of the mango. Place the peeled mango half, flat side down, on a cutting board and dice!

Ingredient Notes

  • It comes together in 5 minutes! What's better than a quick and easy recipe that is also delicious?
  • It's packed with vitamins and nutrients - This recipe is so versatile and can be made with whatever ingredients you have on hand or prefer, but however you make it this pesto is so fresh and good for you!
  • Delicious condiments are the best! - As a Whole30 certified coach, one of my biggest tips to a successful Whole30 and sustainable healthy eating in general is finding healthy and delicious condiments to always have on hand. This pesto recipe is definitely one of them!

What is Pesto?

Traditionally, pesto is a green sauce that originated in Italy and is made up of pine nuts, basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese.

Today, many variations of pesto exist. Including swapping pine nuts for a variety of different nuts including cashews, walnuts, almonds, etc, and swapping the basil for spinach, kale, cilantro, or a combination of any greens you’d like!

The sky is truly the limit when it comes to this delicious condiment.

This Whole30 Cashew Pesto uses cashews and a mix of both spinach and basil and is kept vegan and dairy-free by excluding the Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients Needed

  • Basil - Be sure to use fresh basil for this recipe.
  • Spinach - Again, you can definitely swap this for more basil, arugula, kale, or even cilantro!
  • Olive Oil - I love using a high quality olive oil in this recipe as it really makes all the difference in taste!
  • Garlic Cloves - A staple in pesto sauces, feel free to add more or less to your taste preferences.
  • Nutritional Yeast - not only does nutritional yeast give this recipe a great “cheesy” flavor while keeping it dairy-free, but it also provides a health dose of B6 and B12 vitamins.
  • Lemon - the acid in the lemon gives this pesto the slightest tang that is so yummy, it also helps to prevent the pesto from browning in the fridge!
  • Salt

Substitutions

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is! There are so many flavor variations that are so delicious. Here are a few yummy swaps you can make:

  • Cashews - Swap for pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, or almonds!

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

Apple cider vinegar is essentially apple juice that has been fermented. It is known for its many uses and health benefits. In particular, apple cider vinegar with “the mother” contains prebiotics that support a healthy gut.
The molecules in “the mother” contain the beneficial bacteria and proteins that give ACV the health promoting benefits (and also gives it it’s distinct murky appearance).
During the refining process, “the mother" is removed and these health properties are destroyed.  This is why "raw and unfiltered" apple cider vinegar is best for the amazing health benefits.

Unless specifically noted, most store bought soy sauce and teriyaki sauce contains wheat, thus containing gluten.

This teriyaki sauce is not only free from gluten, but is soy-free as well, using coconut aminos is place of soy sauce.

What is coconut aminos?

Coconut aminos is made from fermented sap of coconut palm that is then blended with sea salt.

Because of its consistency and salty taste, it makes the perfect alternative to soy sauce with far less sodium, no gluten, and no soy.
