Can mango salsa be made ahead of time?

You can make it a couple of hours in advance of serving and store in a sealed airtight container in the fridge. While it tastes best on the day of making it, you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days.

Can mango salsa be frozen?

I don’t recommend freezing it because it will alter the texture of the fruit and veggies once thawed and become very watery.

What goes well with mango salsa?

Any grilled, baked, or pan-seared meat, fish, or veggies would pair well with it. You can also serve it in tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, nachos, or as a standalone dip with tortilla chips.

Notes

Recipe quantity: Feel free to double or triple the recipe as per your needs, and if serving a crowd. Use the ‘2x’ or ‘3x’ buttons in the recipe card above to view the adjusted quantities of ingredients required.
Mango: Use a nice and ripe, juicy sweet mango for best flavor.
Green Chili: Use more or less depending on your heat level preference. Or omit to make this salsa mild. Feel free to substitute with a deseeded finely chopped jalapeño, or any other medium-hot green chili pepper that you can get in your area.
Coriander (cilantro): If you’re not a fan, use fresh mint or basil leaves instead.
Ways to serve mango salsa: Serve with grilled shrimp/prawns or fish such as salmon or cod, meat such as juicy baked chicken breasts or pork chops, with tortilla chips as a dip, in tacos, in tortilla wraps, a side salsa for nachos, etc. See post above for more ideas.
