Print Recipe

Mango Salsa is a refreshing condiment that pairs well with burgers, fried fish, shrimp and roasted chicken. Easy to make with simple ingredients.

Traditional salsa is a combination of chopped tomatoes, chiles, onions, and cilantro, seasoned with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.  The beauty of salsa is its versatility.

 

ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Mango salsa contains a charred, tender, roasted red bell pepper cut into four pieces. 

The roasted pepper is diced before using in this recipe.

 

DICED ONIONS

This is a chopped shallot before it was sauteed in olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Shallots have a mild and sweet flavor with a hint of garlic.  They are not as strong as yellow or white onions which have a very pungent flavor.  However, yellow and white onions do mellow when cooked.

According to kitchn.com, despite their differences, onions and shallots can be swapped for one another in a recipe.   One small onion = 3 small shallots.

Since shallots are smaller and have more fine layers than onions, chop onions into smaller pieces when substituting for shallots.
