Introduction

This vibrant tomato and mango salad is a fresh and flavorful combination perfect for warm days. Sweet mango pairs beautifully with juicy tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a tangy dressing, creating a light and refreshing dish.

The image shows a white plate filled with a colorful mango tomato salsa. The base layer consists of bright yellow mango chunks mixed with vibrant red tomato pieces, both cut into small, rough cubes. Scattered evenly throughout are tiny bits of purple onion and green herbs, adding texture and color contrast. The plate is set against a dark surface with a white marbled texture nearby, with a whole mango and half a lime placed in the background on the left. On the right side, there are stacked white plates with two silver forks resting on top. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup diced mango
1 cup diced tomato
3 tbsp chopped red onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup crumbled Greek feta
3 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the diced mango and diced tomato in a bowl. Add the chopped red onion, fresh basil, and fresh mint. Mix gently to combine, taking care not to bruise the fruit.
Step 2: Add the lime juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt directly to the bowl. Toss gently to mix the dressing with the salad ingredients.
Step 3: If using, fold in the crumbled Greek feta cheese at this point.
Step 4: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe mangoes and tomatoes for the best sweetness and juiciness.
Substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
Add a handful of toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
To make it vegan, omit the feta or use a plant-based cheese alternative.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the fruit and herbs may wilt and the dressing can make the salad watery when kept longer. If needed, give it a gentle toss before serving again.

How to Serve

A white bowl holds a colorful mango and tomato salad with two main layers: bright yellow mango chunks and red tomato pieces mixed evenly together. The salad is sprinkled with small bits of finely chopped red onion and fresh green herbs, likely cilantro, giving it a speckled and fresh look. The fruit and vegetable pieces are juicy and shiny, sitting in a small amount of light juice at the bowl’s base. Surrounding the bowl are some halves of a green lime, a whole mango, a white cloth with embroidery in the bottom left corner, and a stack of white plates with forks on the top right, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
