It’s a great salsa to serve with chips for a gathering, and it’s terrific as a side to fish dishes such as halibut or salmon. And fish tacos? Mango salsa is perfect for fish tacos.
What Does Mango Taste Like?
The tropical flavor of mangoes creates a sweeter salsa than the traditional tomato-based version. When ripe, the taste of a mango can be similar to that of a ripe peach crossed with pineapple, and when added to salsa, it is particularly complementary to seafood. Or, just scoop up mango salsa with tortilla chips and enjoy the sweet/salt combo! Choose ripe mangoes, ones that are more yellow or orange than green. Green mangoes are unripe. A ripe mango will also smell fragrant. The inside flesh should be soft, but not mushy. Mangoes that are not yet ripe enough will continue to ripen as they sit out at room temperature.

Refrigerate mango salsa, tightly covered, for 3 to 5 days. It will be best in the first day or two. After that, it will still be safe to eat, but it will begin to break down and become mushy.
