Strawberry Mango Salsa: Frequently Asked Questions
There is a mild kick of heat with the jalapeño pepper depending on whether or not the inner white ribs (pith) and seeds have been removed. For less heat, remove the pith and seeds, or omit the pepper entirely.
Yes! Diced avocado is an excellent addition here, stirring just before serving so it does not turn brown or mushy.
This salsa is best when served immediately, but the jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro can be chopped ahead of time and stored in airtight containers 24 hours in advance.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, draining the excess liquid if the strawberries release too much juice.
Strawberry Mango Salsa
Ingredients
- ¾ cup diced strawberries
- ¾ cup diced mango
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons honey, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, mango, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, honey and lime juice.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to blend.
Notes
- Prep ahead of time. Save time by prepping and dicing the jalapeño, red onion and cilantro 1 day prior and storing them in airtight containers in the fridge.
- Skip the frozen berries. Always use fresh strawberries as frozen strawberries will become mushy when thawed and mixed.
- Cut in uniform size. Cut all of the salsa ingredients in similar size pieces for a consistent bite.
- Make it mild or spicy. For milder flavors, omit the jalapeño pepper. For more heat, keep the inner white ribs intact when mincing.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice. While bottled lime juice can work in a pinch, freshly squeezed is ideal here for its vibrant, stronger flavors.
- Chill in the fridge. If time permits, let the salsa chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to blend and marry.

This was absolutely fantastic! Definitely a recipe I’ll be making again and again.
I made this a while back (just never commented) for a salsa contest with my church small group and won! For some reason I thought I needed to dice everything with my food processor so it definitely wasn’t a chunky salsa as shown but it still turned out great!
This is the best fresh fruit salsa I have ever had. The kicker about this salsa though, one night it was brought to dinner and we didn’t have any regular tortilla chips. Instead my mom had cool ranch doritos and instead of mango my grandma put her own twist on it after trying the original recipe she used peaches and with the cool ranch doritos, it set the salsa off like you wouldnt believe!
Made this with some cinnamon sugar chips. It was Delicious!!!
I totally agree with this yummy combination of salsa. I am so crazy over it since the time I made it. Loved your clicks.
Absolutely delicious . Just made this.
Everyone went crazy about it!!! Wanted my secret recipie!!!
It’s such a good one! 🙂
Can you subsitute peaches for the mango?
Yes, of course. What a great idea!
How long does it start fresh I’m thinking about using this as part of my weekly lunches.
A day or so, at least!
Made this salsa and it turned out perfect. Hubby wants me to make another batch to put over his ice cream! Yummy stuff!
This is so fresh and delicious – served it at a “ladies” happy hour. It’s a keeper. Thank you.
Thanks for this recipe. It was a huge hit at our Memorial Day picnic. All the raves! I used strawberries from our garden and they are a little tart this year. This recipe was a perfect use for them.
I love it! I have some mango that I need to it soon, so this is perfect. Btw, your photos are really beautiful
So this can be eaten just with chips? I’m planning for a potluck and not sure what to bring with the salsa. Thanks!
Yes!
This gets rave reviews every time I make it. It’s become a favourite!
I’m making this for a salsa “bake off” at work. Is it “good” with tortilla chips? or is it better suited to a paring with fish or chicken vs. an appetizer type dish?
It will work with all of the above! 🙂
The serving size reads 4…. How much does yield? Does it mean 4 8oz cups? I want to make this for my wedding reception and need to know how much quantity of ingredients I need to buy for a larger bowl. Thank you.
Wee, this recipe yields about 2 cups.
Perfect for our summer gatherings!
Definitely have to try this, looks really good!
what a wonderful idea! I was about to prepare some strawberry salad, and the combination of these ingredients and flavours seems fantastic! I love it! I have some mango that I need to it soon, so this is perfect. Btw, your photos are really beautiful
