    • Easy Mango Pico de Gallo

    🌟 Why you'll love this mango pico de gallo

    This Mango Pico de Gallo is a summer staple in our house. I LOVE IT, and think you will, too!

    • You can make it with just 6 ingredients.
    • It takes just 10-15 minutes to make.
    • The bright, fresh mangos bring tropical flavors that make this dish sing of summer.
    • You can use this summer mango salsa for SO many different dishes - not just as a dip for chips!

    🥭 Ingredient notes

    bowls of ingredients to make mango pico de gallo salsa on a light table.

    Mango - Use two ripe mangos (see FAQs below for how to choose a ripe mango). You can also use frozen mango chunks, just be sure to thaw the mango in the refrigerator overnight before you make it and chop into smaller even pieces.

    Tomato - I use Roma tomatoes, but you can use any other tomato that you like! Try to dice the tomatoes to the same size as the mango pieces.

    Red Onion - Red onion adds contrasting sharpness to the sweet fruit. You can use yellow onion instead if that's what you have on hand.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    ingredients to make mango pico de gallo in a large white bowl

    1. Add all ingredients to a large bowl
    2. Mix ingredients together until well combined. Then serve or refrigerate for up to 24 hours until you are ready to serve.

    It's that fast and easy!

    ❓Recipe FAQ

    How can you tell when a mango is ripe?

    When you pick up a mango, it should give slightly if you give it a very, very gentle squeeze. If the mango doesn't give, it's not ready; if it feels softer like a ripe peach or avocado, it's ready.

    You can also tell by smell: ripe mangoes will give off a sweet smell when you smell around the stem. Because there are so many different types of mangoes, color is not necessarily an indication of ripeness.

    Many people think that the amount of redness in the skin indicates how ripe a mango is -- and quite frankly, sometimes the ripest mangoes really do have more red on their skin -- but in most cases, the red color usually just indicates how much sun that mango got.

    How far in advance can I make this salsa?

    You can make this salsa up to 24-hours in advance of serving and refrigerate in an airtight container. In fact, I prefer to allow the ingredients to sit in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. This allows the tomatoes, mango, and red onions to soak up the lime juice, making it extra tasty! 

    🍽 What to serve with this mango pico de gallo

    This fruity pico de gallo is delicious served as a dip for tortilla chips.

    It's also fantastic when used as a relish over Asian beef burgers, grilled chicken, Air Fryer Salmon, and hot dogs.

    What drinks to serve with this dish

    Serve this mango salsa with refreshing margaritas, our Tropical Rosé Sangria, or with a chilled Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

    👧🏻🧒🏻 How kids can help make this recipe

    Here are some of the tasks that kids can help you with to make this recipe:

    • Little kids: younger kids who aren't yet skilled at chopping can help measure out the ingredients after you chop them. They can also help stir the ingredients all together.
    • Older kids: older children who have been taught safe knife skills can carefully chop the mango, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and garlic.
    • Kids of all ages: can help pick the cilantro leaves off the stems and discard the stems, and they can add the lime juice. They can also help toss all ingredients together in a large bowl.

    Be sure to carefully supervise your kids in the kitchen as they learn these cooking skills!

        This recipe looks fantastic. I actually had never tried a mango until about a month ago. We live in Taiwan and a popular way they serve it here at the street market's is over shaved ice with some kind of cream...SO delicious. Someone from my husbands office just recently gave us a big box of mangos and this recipe will be perfect served with some grilled chicken. Thanks for sharing.

        Love this recipe! I usually add a pinch of salt too. But my favorite way to enjoy a mango is in plain yogurt - love the sweet and tangy combo.

        What a great giveaway! Mangos are somehow a bit less popular here (it's all those Oregon berries taking up the fruit spotlight!!) so it's great to be reminded how great they are in summer!!

        Mango and Salsa have got to be two of the best things ever put into the same bowl! We eat mangoes in everything this time of year, but my favorite way is probably au naturale - one bite at a time :)
