this is delicious and very refreshing. i did cut the oil down to 1 tsp, i usually omit it from salsas, and i substituted fresh basil for the cilantro- the fresh ingredients this time of year are marvelous!

Delicious! The only change I made was to use red onion instead of shallots and serrano chilies instead of jalapenos because they are hotter. Thank you for this great recipe!

Yummy! This is similar to a mango salsa that Baja Fresh has on their salsa bar occasionally. Next time I think I will try pureeing a small amount of the mango to make the salsa a little more liquidy.

...yet another 5-star review for you!!! = ) Made this tonight with an almost over-ripe mango and an almost under-ripe one....made exactly as written....ok, so I used a red and yellow pepper, not a green one......green would make it prettier I believe.... I made this for dinner tomorrow (either tilapia or scallops)...but it may not last that long!!!!! This stuff is SO good!

Yummy! I had to substitute a can of peaches for pineapple, but still was wonderful! I also had no lime or lemon juice, so I just used some of the peach juice. Used only 1 tsp of olive oil and the cilantro really made it all come together...thanks for the recipe!

I made this to go with some broiled sea bass actually, we grilled it on the bbq. I didn't use any garlic but I did add about two tablespoons of minced ginger. I also used red onion instead of the shallots. Easy and delish!

This was great. Had to use orange bell pepper instead of green, added x-tra jalapeno, out of cloves-used garlic powder, didn't have shallot-used green onion, used cilantro and parsley, didn't have red pepper flakes. Turned out wonderful. I put a layer of baby spinach leafs and kale, added grilled chicken breast marinated with "McCormick Grill Mates Mojito Lime Marinade" with a little lime juice, then topped all with salsa. Wow! Was excellent, can't wait to fix this one again.

After having mango salsa at the Cheesecake Factory with their shrimp dish, I was looking for a similar salsa to serve with our grilled salmon and shrimp dinner last night. Unfortunately, I didn't like the salsa too much with the shrimp and it was just ok with the salmon. But I have to give it 5 shining stars because this salsa is super with tortilla chips. I just polished off the last of the salsa and wish I had more! I did make a few changes: skipped the green bell pepper that I didn't have; substituted red onion for the shallot; and added in some cumin to tone down the sweetness of the mango. Thanks Rita... I'll have to make this the next time I entertain.
