This Mango Salsa with Cucumber goes perfect with anything! It’s a light and refreshing alternative to the usual tomato or chile based salsa. You can’t stop eating it once you start!
Hello! This happy little Mango & Cucumber salsa is loaded with sweet juicy mango and crispy and fresh cucumber. Some red onion, a jalapeño and citrus juices for the ultimate more refreshing salsa you’ll ever have! And it wants to be friends with you.
Um, let me think. HARD YES.
This is a delicious and versatile dish that celebrates the vibrant flavors of fresh ingredients. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue, enjoying a cozy night in, or simply looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, this salsa is sure to impress.
If you have tomato allergy then this recipe is fantastic! Salsa recipes without tomatoes are few and far in between. This recipe is sweet, spicy, and all around excellent.
Ingredients
- 1 large mango – I prefer it with fresh mango over frozen, but frozen mango can be used in a pinch too.
- 1 large cucumber
- ½ red onion
- 1 fresh jalapeño – If you like it hot, then add habanero peppers!
- 1 large juicy lime
- Orange juice
- Kosher salt to taste
Tip! The habanero is a great addition to this salsa but if be careful with it since it’s very hot! Just use half of it if you like it less spicy. Oh and don’t rub your eyes after you finish cutting this little cutie! The spiciness lingers on your fingers for a while afterwards lol!
How to make Mango Salsa with Cucumber
- Start by carefully dicing the ripe mangoes and cucumber into uniform pieces. Finely chop the red onion and mince the jalapeño pepper, ensuring to remove the seeds to control the heat level.
- Squeeze the lime juice and add the orange juice. Finally, season with salt according to taste.
How to serve it
My favorite way to serve this Mango & Cucumber Salsa is over grilled fish or on shrimp tacos. Every time I make it, it’s a hit all around. I’ve also made this recipe subbing in pineapple for the mango and it worked just as great. Served with tortilla chips is always a great option too.
You can also pair with creamy avocado slices for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
