Frequently Asked Questions

Which mango is best for salsa?

The best mango for salsa is a firm but ripe mango, like Tommy Atkins, Kent, or a slightly firm Alphonso. You want the mango to hold its shape when diced, so avoid mangoes that are overly soft or fibrous.

How long does mango salsa last in the fridge?

Fresh mango salsa is best consumed on the day it is made. However, it will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Note that the mangoes will release their juices and become softer over time.

What goes well with mango salsa?

Beyond tortilla chips, mango salsa is exceptional when paired with seafood (like grilled salmon or shrimp), chicken tacos, or served alongside black beans and rice for a fresh, Caribbean-inspired meal.
