Mango Corn Salsa
Mango Corn Salsa
It almost seems unjust to call this Mango Corn Salsa a salsa. It’s not just something to eat with chips, although that is delicious: Mango Corn Salsa is so much more!
Of course it can be substituted for regular salsa for tacos, carnitas, quesadillas, and even our Guiltless Gluten-Free Nachos.
Use Mango Corn Salsa to complete a healthy meal! Top grilled chicken, pork, or fish with it. It's also yummy on veggies and rice! This homemade salsa is the taste of summer—but you enjoy it all year round!
It’s so refreshing and, like I said, it's great with chips. In fact, it’ll take your Chips & Salsa to a whole new level! Make this recipe once, and you will want to use Mango Corn Salsa on everything!
Why Corn and Mango Together?
Corn is a staple Mexican food. It’s used in everything from masa for tortillas and tamales to side dishes and elote, the popular street food in Mexico City. But the main reason it teams up with mango in this recipe is that these two ingredients work so well together.
Mangos also appear often in traditional Mexican cuisine, and I’ve always been a big fan of both mangos and Mexican food. Back in the day, my mom used to bring me mangos whenever she’d visit because she knew I loved them so much, and she had a knack for always picking the very best ones.
Nutritionally speaking, mangos are high in fiber, Vitamins C and E, beta carotene, calcium, flavonoids, and amino acids. Translation: The health benefits of mangos include everything from cancer prevention to improved digestion, eye health, and some say even heat stroke.
With summer just around the corner, I say bring on the Mango Corn Salsa!
Mango Corn Salsa Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 cup mango, peeled
3 seeded tomatoes
¼ red onion
2 tablespoons corn
2 teaspoons diced Serrano chili peppers
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
Chop the first 3 ingredients separately in a food processor. If you don’t have a processor, you can chop them by hand. However, besides being faster, a food processor will retain more of the juices. Pulse each ingredient and then empty into a bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and toss everything together.
That’s it; you’re done. Mango Corn Salsa: So easy, yet so delicious.
