- 1 ½ cups ripe mangoes small diced
- 1 cup roma tomatoes deseeded and small diced
- ½ cup red or white onion small diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper deseeded and small diced
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1-2 limes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder optional
Pro Tips
- Use gloves while chopping the chili pepper. It's easier to handle the chilis with disposable gloves instead of worrying about remembering to not touch your face, eyes, or other objects before thoroughly washing your hands. I feel like the gloves act as a *spicy* reminder.
- Scoop out the tomato seeds in the roma tomatoes, they don't add anything but wateriness to your pico de gallo.
- Give your diced raw onions a rinse under cool water in a colander. This gets rid of that sharpness in red onions and the aftertaste (goodbye onion breath!).
- To pick out a great mango, give it a sniff. It should smell like a strong, super sweet, flavorful mango and the flesh should have a little give to it but not be mushy. My husband says 'It should be like you could taste the mango with your nose'.
- Cutting a mango isn't too difficult once you understand where the cheeks and pit are!
- If you're not into a very lime-y mango salsa, taste test it with the juice of one lime first.
Storage and Make Ahead
Store the leftover pico de gallo in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. And as it sits, the flavor will deepen.
