I paired this salsa with Za’atar Spiced Pita Chips this weekend and it was a hit with everyone. The tangy and sweet flavors were a riot in the mouth and the mildly spiced pita chips made a perfect balance with the salsa.
Though, I have not used red bell pepper or other bell pepper, if you want then please add it.
Ingredients
Mangoes – The star of this dish is Mangoes. Choose the ones which are ripe and juicy for the best taste. Indian mangoes are the best to make this dish. Try and source some from any Indian store near you.
Apart from mangoes, you will need regular salsa ingredients like onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and lemon juice.
Olive oil is also added to add some flavor. Use a good quality olive oil, as it surely enhances the taste of your Salsa.
You can roast the tomatoes, remove the charred skin and then chop them for a smoky flavored salsa.
Step by Step Recipe
Add all the ingredients in a bowl.
Mix well until combined.
Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients until they slightly come together.
Refrigerate the salsa for a few hours before serving.
