Fresh Mango Salsa With Toast

Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, this fresh mango salsa on toast is the perfect snack for warm weather.

Sweet juicy mangos, crunchy red onions, and a hint of heat from the jalapeño create a taste sensation that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe mangos, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• Salt, to taste
• 7 slices of bread, toasted (for serving)
• Optional: 1 avocado, diced (for topping)

Instructions

Start by combining the diced mango, red onion, chopped jalapeño pepper, and chopped cilantro in a medium-sized bowl.

Next, squeeze the lime juice over the top of the mixture and toss to coat.

Season with salt to taste.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

While the salsa is chilling, toast the slices of bread.

You can do this by placing them in the toaster or by grilling them lightly.

Once the salsa has chilled, give it a good stir and scoop it onto the toasted bread slices.

If using, top with diced avocado for extra creaminess.

Serve immediately and get ready for a flavor explosion!

Notes

Use the ripest mangos for the sweetest flavor. If they’re not ripe, the salsa will be tart and not as flavorful.

For an extra kick, use more jalapeño or add in some other hot peppers like serrano or habanero.

You can make this salsa ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before serving.

If you’re not a fan of cilantro, try substituting it with some chopped fresh basil or parsley.

The flavor will be a bit different, but still delicious. Toasting the bread is key to preventing it from getting soggy under the salsa.

Try toasting it just before serving for the best results.

This recipe makes 7 servings, but it’s easy to double or triple the recipe if you need more. Just remember to adjust the refrigeration time accordingly.

The diced avocado adds a nice creaminess to the salsa, but feel free to skip it if you’re not a fan.

The salsa is still delicious without it.
