Recipe video
Let’s see how to make this easy salsa recipe:
Ingredients
- Corn: You can use in any form- fresh/steamed/roasted, whatever you prefer. I like to steam corn on the cob, which deepens its sweetness. If you don’t have fresh ears of corn, you can also use frozen corn. (That’s what I used today.)
- Mangoes: The freshness and ripened stage of the mangoes decide the taste of the salsa, whether you want it very sweet, moderately sweet or slightly tangy. As in the mango tomato salsa, the beauty of this salsa recipe is that even a semi-ripe mango tastes delicious.
- More vegetables/fruits: You can add bell peppers, avocados or pineapple
- Other flavor makers: jalapenos, red onions and cilantro
- Lime: Lime juice along with zest gives a burst of freshness

This salsa recipe is as easy as dicing/chopping everything fine and tossing together in a large bowl.
A quick tip: Mix the salt into the lime juice first, then toss. It distributes evenly throughout the salsa.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for later.
