Sweet and slightly sour with just a hint of spicy, this salsa will be a hit at any party. Bursting with so many flavors, it is a delicious dip with any chips.
It’s spring! Which means there are so many fresh fruits at the supermarket. One of my favorite combinations of fruits is strawberry and mango. It’s so tropical, isn’t it? The vibrant colors remind me of the sunset during a warm summer day. This salsa is not only pretty in color, it’s very tasty too. Filled with chunks of strawberries and mangoes, basil and mint, the juice of one lime, honey, and a little bit of red crushed peppers, it is an explosion of flavors on your taste buds! Once you try it, you won’t want to stop eating.
This refreshing salsa is so easy to make with only several ingredients. The hardest part will be waiting for the salsa to finish chilling in the fridge!
First, dice the strawberries and mangoes into bite size pieces. Place them into a medium sized bowl.
Cut the basil and the mint into strips. Or you can roughly tear them apart.
Add the chopped mint and basil into the bowl of strawberries and mangoes.
Add in honey, lime juice, and crushed red peppers. If you prefer a non-spicy salsa, you can just omit the crushed red pepper. Or you can add less for a mild version. Mix the ingredients.
Place the bowl into the fridge and allow it to chill and marinade for about a half hour. The flavors will be much bolder once it’s allowed to sit for awhile.

Hey Andrea 🙂 This is such a refreshing dish
Thank you! =)
Wow! You are my hero! You’ve posted six additional times since this post which is the one I wanted to comment on but took forever to do so! I really wanted to comment on this recipe and thank you, thank you, thank you (!!!) for not adding red onions to it. Red onion is like a song that is played on the radio so much that I’ve become sick of it, don’t you think? it’s overexposed! This salsa looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it with some fresh snapper! Your photography is absolutely lovely, too, by the way. Happy cooking!
Thanks! I hope you’ll enjoy the salsa when you try it. I’ve been trying to post every other day. And I’ve successfully done it so far for a little over a month! But it’s so hard to keep up!
Pretty much EVERYTHING on here looks amazing, but this has to be my favorite! I’m a huge fan of both mangoes and strawberries, and while I’ve made salsas of each, I’ve never combined them together. Forget using it as salsa; I’ll just eat it as breakfast, lunch and dinner! 🙂
Thank you! That means so much to me =)
Maybe it’s weird to admit this, but we never tried mango. I think this is the year to change that and with this recipe. Can’t wait for strawberries to be in season! 🙂
Mangoes are really sweet. If you end deciding to try this recipe, I hope you’ll like it!
Yummy, great flavour combination. Looking forward to summer barbecue season, perfect party for this recipe! I will give it a try.
I hope you’ll like it!
Your food look delicious!
Thank you so much!
