Why This Salsa Is Always in My Fridge!

When it’s blazing hot outside and I don’t want to turn on the oven, I’m all about fresh, no-cook recipes—and this salsa is one I come back to again and again.

It’s the kind of thing that disappears the second I set it out. My kids eat it by the spoonful, and I’ve taken it to so many potlucks that friends now request it by name!

My Go-To Fruit Picking Tips

• Strawberries: Look for berries that are deep red all the way to the top. Pale or green tips mean they’re not ripe.
• Mangoes: Gently press near the stem. If it gives slightly and smells sweet, it’s ready.
• Pro tip: If your mango isn’t quite there yet, stick it in a paper bag with a banana overnight to help it ripen faster.

How To Make Strawberry Mango Salsa (Tips)

1. Chop fruit: Cut the strawberries and mangoes into small, even pieces so every bite tastes just right.
2. Change the spice level: Add a little jalapeño at first, then more if you like it spicy.
3. Taste and fix: If your fruit isn’t super sweet, you might want to add a bit more honey, lime, or salt.
4. Let it sit: Give the salsa 10–15 minutes before serving so the flavors mix in better.

Make It a Strawberry Mango Salsa Party!

If you’re hosting or bringing a dish to a party, turn this salsa into a full-on summer snack platter:

• Serve with cinnamon-sugar chips and salty tortilla chips for sweet-savory balance.
• Add sliced avocado, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of Tajín or chili lime seasoning on the side.
• Pair with a fruity drink like peach lemonade or a sparkling lime mocktail.

Still Got Some? Let’s Remix It

This strawberry mango salsa is best fresh, but if you do have leftovers, here are a few ways to make them shine:

• Toss into a spinach salad with grilled chicken and feta.
• Spoon over oatmeal with a swirl of Greek yogurt for a fruity breakfast.
• Add to a wrap with turkey, cream cheese, and spinach.
• Layer in a mason jar with quinoa and black beans for a meal-prep lunch.

Ingredients

• 1 large lime
• 1-1/2 teaspoons honey (plus more as needed)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and diced)
• 1-1/2 cups ripe mango (peeled and diced, see note 1)
• 2 tablespoons jalapeño (finely minced, see note 2)
• 1/3 cup red onion (finely diced)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (see note 3)
• Chips (or cinnamon-sugar pita, for serving, see note 4)

Method

1. Zest and juice lime. In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, honey, and salt.
2. Finely dice the strawberries, mango, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Aim for small, similar-sized pieces for an evenly distributed salsa. Add these remaining ingredients to bowl. Gently mix everything together until the fruit is well-coated with the lime juice mixture.
3. Taste the salsa and adjust the flavors to your personal preference. You can add more lime juice for extra tang or a pinch of extra salt for more flavor.
4. Allow the salsa to rest for about 10–15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
5. Toss the salsa before serving. If desired, serve with tortilla chips or cinnamon-sugar pita/tortilla chips for dipping.
