Mango and
Habanero Pepper Salsa


This recipe is very original due to the ingredients that are used, also for its preparation method that is carried out and for the combination of flavors – since you will find sweet, spicy, potent and fresh flavors. The final result is a salsa that is fun, amazing and very appealing .

Another surprise factor that exists in the salsa is the combination of textures as it has the mango’s softness, the crunchiness of the onion and the fineness of the habanero pepper. This salsa is similar to the pico de gallo , all their ingredients are chopped, mixed and seasoned. The difference is that some ingredients are roasted to give a phenomenal toasted flavor.



It is a very friendly salsa that serves to accompany any type of shellfish or fish. But it also combines perfectly well with the pork meat, with rice and if you are very creative even with a salad.

    A Tropical Salsa!


    * As we are using fresh and raw fruit, the salsa won’t have neither the same consistency nor the same texture the next day... the best is to consume it immediately.
