Ina Garten Mango Salsa Recipe

Ina Garten Mango Salsa
Print Recipe

Mango salsa is a fresh fruit-based condiment popular in American and Caribbean-inspired cuisine. Ina Garten’s style focuses on simplicity and balance rather than overpowering heat.

The sweetness of ripe mango contrasts with sharp red onion and fresh lime juice. Cilantro adds a herbal lift, while a small amount of jalapeño provides gentle warmth. The result is a colorful, juicy salsa that tastes like summer in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Select ripe mangoes – Choose mangoes that yield slightly when pressed but are not mushy. This ensures natural sweetness and good texture.

  • Peel and dice evenly – Remove the skin and cut the mango flesh away from the pit. Dice into small, uniform cubes so every bite has balanced flavor.

  • Prepare aromatics carefully – Finely chop the red onion to avoid large, overpowering pieces. Mince the jalapeño and remove seeds if you prefer milder heat.

  • Combine ingredients gently – In a large bowl, add diced mango, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Toss lightly to distribute evenly without crushing the mango.

  • Add lime juice and seasoning – Pour fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle salt. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.

  • Adjust flavor balance – Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. If desired, add a drizzle of olive oil for added smoothness.

  • Chill briefly before serving – Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. This allows flavors to blend and deepen.
