This Mango Pico de Gallo is so light and refreshing! The perfect side for chips or to top some burritos with, you won't want to miss this one!
One of the things I love most about Summer is all of the abundant fresh vegetables. I have 4 tomato plants currently growing in my backyard and I can't wait to harvest a bounty this year! Another thing that I love about the warmer weather is that it means that it is officially salsa season! I love a good fresh salsa and this pico de gallo is just that! It is bursting with bright flavors and is so refreshing, you will love it!

Ingredient Notes
- Roma Tomatoes- Roma tomatoes are the best tomatoes for salsas because they have a lower water content, less gel, fewer seeds, and meaty flesh. However feel free to use whatever tomato you have on hand.
- White Onion- White onions are softer and milder than yellow and red onions, they have thin, papery skins and, while still sharp, have less of a lingering aftertaste.
- Cilantro- Cilantro comes in and adds great flavor to this recipe. However if you are one of those people who find the taste of cilantro "soapy" feel free to leave it out.
- Mango- I used fresh mango in this recipe and have not tried it with frozen mango so I cannot recommend it.
See the recipe card for the full ingredient list and quantities.

Substitutions
- Tomatoes - Roma tomatoes are best in this recipe, however you can use any tomato that you prefer.
- Cilantro -If you aren't a big cilantro fan, you can leave it out.
- White Onion - You can swap the white onion with a red onion if you have one handy and prefer it!
Variations
- Extra Spicy - Swap the jalapeno for something with more heat like a habanero!

FAQ's
Pico de gallo is chunkier then salsa and consists of finely diced vegetables. Salsa on the other hand is much smoother and often the vegetables are blended together to make a sauce.
Texture! When you have a lot of different textural elements to a dish, you will find that it will increase the flavor profile of the overall dish.
Try eating it with crunchy vegetables or as a topping on tacos or burritos!
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. See below for the equipment you will need to make this recipe.
- Chef Knife
- Cutting Board
- Mixing Bowl
Storage
Store leftover pico de gallo in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days. This is also the perfect make-ahead dish as it becomes more flavorful as it sits. I like to make mine a day before I plan to serve it!
I do not recommend storing leftover mango pico de gallo in the freezer.
Top tips
- Make sure to use ripe mangoes. To tell when a mango is ripe, there should be a little give when squeezed. It should be slightly soft. Just like other fruit, riper mangoes will have a more intense and sweeter flavor.
- Taste and adjust the flavors. It is always key to taste your recipe before serving. If needed, add more salt or lime to taste.
- If you don't like spice, you can omit the jalapeno or swap it for green bell pepper.
