This salsa is flavorful and loaded with fresh mango, cilantro, tomatoes and hot pepper. Seriously, it is AMAZING.

Mango Habanero Salsa
When I like to add more color and flavor to my typical family dinners, I make this delicious spicy mango salsa as a side dish.
This easy salsa recipe has an excellent balance of sweet and spicy.
And the best part is, this recipe is super quick and easy to make! You will just have to chop and then combine all the ingredients, and ta-da!
Personally, I like to dip my nachos and crackers n this sweet and spicy salsa.
This dish is perfect for Taco nights, game days or as a party dip.

You'll Need
Mango. I prefer to use a fresh ripe mango that is not too soft or firm because they tend to have a sweet taste.
Habanero Pepper. A hot type of chili. If habanero pepper is not available, you can use jalapeno or serrano. They will work just fine! I recommend to deseed the habanero pepper to make it less spicy because it is VERY hot!
Red Onion. I like to use red onion in my salsa recipes because it has some sweetness.
Tomato. Tomato adds a mild sweetness and beautiful color to this dish. Plus, can you ever call salsa a salsa without tomatoes?
Cilantro. I highly recommend using fresh cilantro in making this recipe.
Seasoning: I use salt, ground black pepper, and ground cumin.
How To Make The Recipe

One: Finely chop tomato, mango, Habanero pepper, red onion and cilantro.
Pro Tip: I highly recommend wearing gloves when cutting the habanero pepper. And make sure not to touch your skin; otherwise, you will burn.
Two: Add all the chopped ingredients to a large mixing bowl, season with salt, ground black pepper and ground cumin.
Three: Mix to combine, then serve.
Pro Tip: If you like a smoother salsa, use a food processor and mix or puree all the ingredients until it reaches the desired smoothness.

Is it possible to prepare the salsa ahead of time?
Yup! You may prepare this recipe up to 4 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
