This recipe is VERY good! I pan seared a couple of Ahi Tuna Steaks with seasonings and used the mango salsa as a topping for the tuna. Very tasty. The mango makes the salsa nice and sweet. I have a few pieces of advice before trying this recipe, however. A couple of reviewers substituted red bell peppers for the cucumber. I don't recommend taking out the cucumber. It adds a nice mellow flavor and tones down the other intense flavors in the mix. I also tried a little more than a tablespoon of lime juice, maybe two, and it added a more citrusy flavor, while some said they added the zest of the lime which probably works the same. Finally, I want to stress that this recipe uses red onion which adds a VERY strong onion flavor to the salsa. If you're not a big onion fan, use much less than a third of a cup, or take the onion out completely for a sweet, mellow salsa!

YUMMY!!!!! I love this on everything! As a dip for nachos, on top of fish, chicken and beef! I couldn't wait to make this. My sister doesn't like cucumbers and wanted me to leave them out, but I didn't (cause I love cucumbers - and so glad I didn't and so is my sister. Actually my whole family loves this!!! Not to mention how easy this recipe is. Who would've thought.....Thanks Ellie!

So fresh, healthy and delicious! Takes no time to make. I serve it with fish and always make a double batch because my family looks for leftovers to eat as a snack with baked tortilla chips.

Leave it to Ellie! This dish is quick, easy, and delicious. I added finely diced red pepper to the salsa to add more color, and it ended up adding a great taste as well. Once, I finished my salsa, I served it in endive leaves and topped with my homemade guacamole! It was a great healthy treat!

I made this salsa for a work party, and it was a total hit! I had so many people asking me for the recipe! It was requested again at the next party. The only thing that I added was the zest of the lime. Felt like it gave it just a hint more of a citrus flavor. I served it with the lime tortilla chip for the party. Looking forward to trying it with fish/seafood!

I happened upon the video of this recipe and prepared it as instructed. To my taste, the result was good but not great. I paired it with a grilled steak that had been prepared with the Blackening Spice Rub Recipe that can be found here on the FN.
What makes this find here on FN dot com so great are the many excellent comments and suggestions that have been posted about the original recipe. There were 40 comments when I looked. I hope to try at least half of them before the end of this wonderful summer weather. So far, I have added both a chopped red bell pepper AND the cucumber for even more great color and added crunch. I also added grated lime from the limes I juiced and then I added salt, fresh ground black pepper, and then agave nectar to taste. My next try will be with avocado and then with ginger. And next after that will be to prepare with ripe papaya, if still in season by then.
Thanks to all for the many great suggestions for improving this recipe.

We had a delicious mango salsa at the Baton Rouge in Toronto that was served with crab cakes, and I was looking to make something similar at home. I found this recipe and the only thing I changed was to use diced red bell pepper in place of the cucumbers - which was how it was prepared at the restaurant. WOW! This recipe is even better than the one we had! The colors are beautiful and the flavors are amazing. I served it atop pan fried creole tilapia to rave reviews. Perfect recipe for entertaining as it's a feast for the eyes and the mouth - and super easy to make ahead of time. I'll definitely continue to use red pepper instead of cucumber though, as it give the salsa a great crunch and beautiful color.
