FAQ

THE BEST MANGO SALSA Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have a red onion, you can use a yellow or white onion instead. They might be a bit sharper in flavor but it’ll still work fine.
• If jalapeno peppers are hard to come by or you’re not too keen on heat, try using serrano peppers if you want a similar kick, or even banana peppers if you prefer it milder.
• If fresh cilantro isn’t your thing, fresh parsley can be used as a milder alternative and still adds a nice herby touch.
• In a pinch, if you’re short on limes, you can substitute with lemon juice. It gives a slightly different taste but still brings that essential acidity to the salsa.

Pro Tips

1. Try chilling the salsa for like 20 to 30 minutes before serving so all the flavors can really mix together and mellow out, especially the zing from the lime and the bite from the onion.

2. When it comes to the jalapenos, start with just one pepper if you’re not 100% sure how spicy you want it. Trust me, you can always add a little more later if you feel like it’s too mild.

3. Make sure your mangoes are super ripe – they should be soft but not mushy. If they’re too firm, your salsa might end up tasting a bit sour instead of sweet and fresh.

4. Add the lime juice slowly, tasting as you go. Sometimes a little extra squeeze can totally change the flavor balance, so it’s a good idea to adjust gradually rather than dumping it all in at once.
