The cat is out of the bag. I’m madly in love with Champagne mangoes. Those bright yellow beauties are intensely flavorful, unbelievably sweet, and one of the very best things about summer.
Combined with some chopped English cucumber, red onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice, they make a totally irresistible fresh fruit salsa.
It takes about 10 minutes to put together and you can serve it right away or pop it in the fridge to chill for awhile.
I swear I could eat this stuff with a spoon but I was ladylike and scooped it up with tortilla chips instead.
It is totally fabulous on grilled fish or chicken tacos.
We piled it on top of grilled chicken and it was perfection.
So fresh, bright, light, and summery. Try it!

Can’t wait to try the champagne mango. I’ve noticed some are bright yellow in the store but never knew the difference. Love how light and fresh this recipe is!
Try them, Julie! They are so, so good! I prefer them far and away over the red variety.
