Ingredients
For the full list of ingredients and quantities used to make peach mango salsa, refer to the recipe card below.
You’ll need 1 fresh mango and 1 fresh peach for this recipe. Make sure they’re fully ripe with no soft or brown spots. You can tell when both types of fruit are ripe by giving them a light squeeze. If they’re firm but have a little give, they’re ripe. If they’re hard, they’re not ripe yet.
I love to pair fresh mint with summer fruit, so this mango peach salsa recipe has chopped fresh mint in addition to the fresh cilantro.
To add a subtle savory and umami flavor, fish sauce is added to the salsa. Don't worry, it does not give the salsa a fishy flavor at all, just gives it an extra savory flavor. We also add tomatoes, red onion and jalapeño peppers.
For a tangy flavor, and to help prevent the fruit from browning, you’ll need fresh lime juice. Yo can also add a little lime zest for an extra citrusy flavor.
Variations and substitutions
- If you don't like cilantro, you can omit it and substitute fresh herbs like parsley. However, this will give the salsa a slightly different flavor.
- Substitute soy sauce for the fish sauce for a similar umami flavor.
- For additional spice add extra jalapeno peppers substitute a hot pepper like serrano or habanero for the jalapeno. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for added heat.
- Substitute a nectarine for the peach.
- Change it up by adding some corn kernels, diced red bell peppers or diced avocado (which you can add just before serving).
- You can use frozen fruit if you can't get your hands on fresh fruit.
Step by step instructions to make fresh mango peach salsa
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and serve it with tortilla chips or on tacos or burritos. We LOVE this homemade salsa served on fish tacos, grilled chicken or tacos like these tacos de camaron with a squeeze of lime juice.
Expert tips
- Make sure you dice your fruit and veggies so they're small, uniform pieces in your salsa. You want to avoid big chunks and unevenly cut pieces. You can use a food processor for convenience.
- If you’re not sure how to easily peel and dice a mango, here’s a helpful guide on how to cut a mango.
- When cutting jalapeños, it’s best to wear gloves especially when removing the ribs and seeds. If you don’t use gloves, thoroughly wash your hands and don’t touch your face or eyes.
- Make sure your peach and mango are ripe. If they’re hard, you’ll need to wait a few days for them to ripen.
- For the best flavor, let the salsa sit overnight in the fridge so the flavors can blend.
Frequently asked questions
For the best texture, I recommend peeling both the peach and mango for this salsa.
To check for ripeness, give the fruit a gentle squeeze. If they’re still hard, they’re not ripe yet and you’ll need to leave them at room temperature for a few days to ripen. If they have a little give underneath the skin but still feel firm, this means they’re ripe. If they’re too soft, they’re overripe and may get a bit mushy in the salsa.
Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for several days (2-3 days). I don’t recommend freezing this salsa as the fruit and veggies will be soft once defrosted and the salsa will be watery.
