Quick Mango Habanero Salsa is a no-cook, sweet-and-spicy recipe made with fresh mango, red onion, bell pepper, and fiery habanero. It’s fast, fresh, and packed with bold flavor—perfect for tacos, chips, grilled dishes, and more!
Ingredients
2 medium mangoes, finely chopped (≈ 2 cups), fresh or thawed if frozen
½ red onion, finely chopped
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of ½ lime
½ to 1 habanero pepper, finely minced (adjust seeds for spice level)
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel and dice the mango into small, even cubes.
Finely chop the red onion and bell pepper.
Wearing gloves, finely dice ½ to 1 habanero, removing seeds for less heat.
In a large bowl, combine mango, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
Add lime juice, habanero, and salt.
Mix well to combine.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
For a milder salsa, substitute habanero with jalapeño or omit pepper.
Always wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
Frozen mango works—just thaw and drain before use.
Salsa keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
