Print Recipe

A fresh, zesty, and spicy paleo mango salsa featuring ripe mangoes and serrano peppers, perfect as a topping or dip with a bright, natural flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 2–3 serrano peppers, finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the mangoes and dice the flesh into small, even cubes about 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Finely chop 2-3 serrano peppers, removing seeds if less heat is desired. Wear gloves if sensitive to pepper oils.
  3. Finely dice one small red onion. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes and drain if you want to mellow the sharpness.
  4. Roughly chop about 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mango, serrano peppers, red onion, and cilantro. Stir gently to mix without mashing the mango.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Toss gently to combine all flavors.
  7. Optionally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and stir again.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. Let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Use gloves when handling serrano peppers to avoid skin irritation. For less heat, remove seeds or substitute jalapeños. Best enjoyed fresh or within 24 hours. Add fresh cilantro just before serving if stored. Hand chopping preserves texture better than food processor.
