I could eat regular pico de gallo with a spoon. And I am not kidding. I kind of sometimes pretend it’s gazpacho and forgo the chips altogether. This mango pico de gallo is mostly the same, but with the addition of sweet juicy mango, and it’s a completely different experience. You can make this entirely with mango, or you can combine both tomato and mango together, it’s up to you and delicious both ways! This Mango Pico de Gallo is perfect for scooping up with chips, but also a great garnish on salads and chicken , steak, or fish tacos.
Ingredient Notes
- Mango – You’ll need one medium to large mango, or about 1 cup chopped. There are different varieties of mango and if you’re grabbing the small yellow varieties you’ll need closer to 2-3 mangoes to get enough. Choosing a ripe mango is similar to feeling for a ripe avocado. It should have a light softness to it when you press into it, but not too much!
- Onion –you can use yellow or red onion in this recipe. I love the purple color with the bright yellow fruit so I usually use red!
- Jalapeno – Not a fan of too much heat? 1/2 a jalapeno without seeds is a nice, mild-medium heat; go from there. You can also choose to skip the jalapeno all together (I did in my photos!)
- Tomato – this is optional. Sometimes I make this only with mango, other times I’ll throw a tomato in there as well, it’s delicious both ways!
How To Make Mango Pico De Gallo
- It doesn’t get much easier than this. Chop up your mango, onions, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mince your garlic. Toss everything together, add lime juice and salt (and a drizzle of oil if you like), and serve!
Serving Suggestions
This mango pico de gallo goes with so many things! It’s perfect on salads, grilled meats, fish tacos, or burrito bowls. Eat with beans and rice, tortilla chips, or even a spoon. It’s THAT good!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time? This pico de gallo is best served right away, but could be made a few hours ahead. To store leftovers, cover tightly, store in fridge, and use within 24 hours. After that, the mangoes will begin to get squishy.

Thanks Sara for letting use the photo of your delish mango pico-de gallo! Here's a link to my post http://wp.me/pRnCb-7i
You do a wonderful job on your blog thanks!
Suzanne- you're always welcome to share our recipes, thanks for asking!
Loved your mango salsa! I was wondering if I could use one of the photos on my blog and send everyone to you for the recipe? Let me know please
Ok, this I need to make. I've eaten more than my fair share of mangoes, but I've never really made anything with them apart from mango salad. Thanks for the recipe. I think I'm gonna try it. Wish me luck!
I have never been a fan of pico de gallo before, but this week I made both your recipe for pico and this one and I have been converted. I think others recipes just haven't been good. Both of yours were amazing!
Just made this (minus the cilantro as I just can't seem to aquire a taste for the stuff) and I literally ate the entire bowl in one sitting!! Yum. Thanks for the recipe!
I made this with dinner tonight and wow was it GOOD!! My husband is not a fan of fruit salsa but gave it a try. His exact words: "Whoa, this is good!"
We must be very much on the same brain wave here, because I just made this exact thing for dinner this evening(w/o seeing your recipe post first)! Love mango pico, though I call mine "salsa" because it's more fun to say "salsa" (a la Seinfeld). Have a great weekend!
Marti–I meant to include this link in the post. Hope it helps! 🙂
