This summery fresh mango salsa recipe has just six ingredients: ripe mango, diced red onion, jalapeño for a little kick, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and fresh lime juice. It’s sweet, spicy, and bright, and makes a great appetizer with tortilla chips or simple accompaniment to fish tacos, grilled chicken or shrimp, or burrito bowls. This salsa’s major selling point lies in its versatility: Lose the tomatoes if you don’t care for them, add creamy chunks of avocado or crunchy red bell pepper, swap in scallions for the red onion, or use lemon instead of lime juice—the riffs are endless.
