Baja Fresh Mango Salsa – Perfectly Sweet, Spicy & Zesty

this post

This Baja fresh mango salsa is full of the traditional Baja flavors used to top fish tacos. I have traveled down to the Baja lots, and I must say, the authentic taco stands know how to make the best salsa. The Baja fresh mango salsa recipe contains the traditional ingredients plus mango for the tastiest salsa. 

The mango and tomato salsa is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The sweetness from large ripe mangoes makes the best tasting fresh salsa with a twist to spice up any taco or burrito. It also tastes delicious when served with corn chips for a Mexican appetizer that is bound to be loved by all. 

Recently, I was at a friend’s BBQ, and she made the best raw mango salsa ever! So, of course, I asked her for the mango salsa recipe, and it is so easy to make (aside from a bit of chopping time, lol). Still, this fresh tomato mango salsa is seriously bursting with zesty, sweet, and spicy flavors that are bound to be a hit at any BBQ as an appetizer served with corn chips.

The raw mango salsa is made with fresh ingredients brimming with nutrients found in the raw vegetables and fruit. Eating raw foods high in enzymes is beneficial for gut health. 

While I love having this mango salsa with cilantro on hand in the fridge for an easy gluten-free snack served with your chips, the uses for mango salsa are endless, especially if you like Mexican. This Baja fresh mango salsa with cilantro tastes amazing on top of a fish taco or these smoked salmon tacos. You can also serve this as a side salad with your favorite BBQ meat.

This raw mango salsa includes fresh mango, tomato, avocado, jalapeno, lime, white onion, cilantro, and a sprinkle of salt to taste and bring all the flavors together.

Fresh Mango Salsa Recipe

• 2 tomatoes
• 1 avocado
• 2 mangoes
• 1 jalapeño
• 1/3 cup white onion 
• 1/4 cup cilantro, tightly packed
• 1 lime
• Himalayan salt, to taste

How to Make the Mango Avocado Tomato Salsa:

1. Prepare the Mango:
   • Peel the skin off the mango using a small knife or peeler.
   • Cut lengthwise along either side of the mango to get two large mango chunks.
   • Slice each chunk in half lengthwise, creating four large mango pieces about 1 cm thick.
   • Chop these pieces into small strips, then cut horizontally to form 1 cm mango chunks.
2. Dice the Tomato:
   • Cut the tomato into chunks similar in size to the mango pieces.
3. Prepare the Remaining Ingredients:
   • Finely dice the white onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.
   • Combine these with the tomato and mango in a medium-sized bowl.
4. Prepare the Avocado:
   • Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
   • Use a large round spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin in one big piece.
   • Place the avocado on a flat surface and dice into 1 cm chunks.
   • Add the avocado to the mixing bowl.
5. Finish the Salsa:
   • Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salsa.
   • Add Himalayan salt to taste.
   • Mix everything gently to combine.

Tips and Substitutions:

To make the best tasting raw mango salsa be sure to use ripe mangoes for maximum natural sweetness. You don’t want to use an under ripe or over ripe mango as both will alter the flavor of the salsa. 

You can also substitute the tomatoes for red pepper. Tomatoes are juicer than red peppers thus more juice will accumulate at the bottom of the bowl when using tomatoes. That being said I still love this tomato mango salsa!

With its perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors, this fresh mango salsa will add a burst of freshness to any dish. Enjoy it at your next barbecue, as a topping for tacos of all types, or simply with a bowl of your favorite tortilla chips. 

I prefer to eat vegetarian, and I made such yummy tacos with corn tortillas filled with refried black beans, mushrooms sauteed and seasoned with Old El Paso fajita seasoning, and this mango avocado tomato salsa. Add some plain yogurt and Valentino to the top, and you have such a healthy and easy Mexican-style dinner. 

​Tacos are a weekly dinner meal at my house, and making this salsa recipe with fresh mango and tomato is a great way to freshen up any taco. The sweetness from mango is such a treat! This recipe yields a large batch, which is perfect if you are making a mango salsa to share, but if you are only using a small amount on tacos, be prepared to have leftovers or cut the recipe in half for a smaller portion. 

​My other classic homemade salsa recipes are this black bean and corn salsa and fresh vegetable salsa for weight loss !
