Here is a sweet, spicy, tangy quick and easy blender salsa for your next party! Tomatillo salsa with mango (or salsa verde with mango) is tangy, tart, and fresh-tasting. Read on and you'll be eating this about 20 minutes.
What you'll need
Assemble all the ingredients for your tomatillo salsa, then blend. Done!
PS- The little hint of cinnamon makes all the flavors pop
What are tomatillos?
Tomatillos (literal translation is "little tomato") are a small, tart green tomato covered in a thin green paper-like husk. They were initially domesticated by the Aztecs in 800 B.C. Make sure you thoroughly remove the husk and rinse, rinse, rinse! The husk can be leave a bit of a sticky residues that you don't want in your mango tomatillo salsa.
This recipe for tomatillo salsa stays fresh for 3 days. Pair it with fish tacos or chips. Did I mention it's vegan too?
Tips
- Fresh is best. Tomatillos lose their texture when frozen or canned.
- Again, fresh is best. Don't use canned mangoes, jalepeños, or tomatillos for this dish.
- Don't feel limited by chips. Drizzle on fish tacos, grilled chicken or pork.

Analida, I love pairing mango with Mexican flavors but have yet to try it with tomatillos--genius!
Analida
Thanks Kristen. yes, mangoes and tomatillos go great together because they have flavor contrasts.
Let me know what you think when you try it.

I've never heard of the combination of mangoes and tomatillos - what a great idea! And for a family that scarfs down salsa by the boatload, as we do, this is a wonderful new twist on that great favorite.
Analida
Thanks Laura. It is so good and refreshing. I think your family will like it.
Karly Campbell
I'd like to dive right into a big bowl of this stuff right about now! Bring on the summer sun and the summer flavors!
Analida
Yes Karly, bring on summer!!!

Analida

Denise Wright
This sounds great! I am so excited to try this recipe in the summer. Last summer we grew tomatillos and they took over the garden. We had hundreds of them and ran out of things to do. I love the addition of mango.
Analida
Hi Denise. I have never made anything with tomatillos. They are very tart, so I am not quite sure what else to make with them. You must be a good gardener. I am a terrible gardener. Only basil and parsley grow in my house. Oh and mint! 🙂

Analida

What a fabulous little gadget! It really is perfect for small kitchens and small batches of things. Love your Mango Tomatillo Salsa - I so wish we could get tomatillos here in the UK! Thank you for sharing with us at Hearth and Soul. Pinned.
Analida
It's an awesome gadget April. Yes, it would be nice if you could get tomatillo. Perhaps a specialty shop?
Have a wonderful day. I am so glad I could share.
Monika Dabrowski
Such an interesting recipe! I'd never think of combining tomatoes (or tomatillos) with mango, but it sounds and looks really appealing. And I'd never heard of tomatillos before, I don't think you can get them here in the UK.
Analida
Hi Monika! You might be able to find them at a specialty shop. It is an interesting flavor. Have a wonderful day!
Beth (OMG! Yummy)
This sounds like it might be a bright addition to a SuperBowl spread this Sunday. And thanks for the info on the tomatillos. Haven't worked with them much but really want to head down to my local Mexican market now and do some shopping!
Analida
Hi Beth! Yes, this salsa really adds a pop of color to any table spread. I've only really used tomatillos for this recipe. Let me know how your salsa turns out.
Mindy
This sounds so good right now! I love the mango and tomatillo together.
Thank you for sharing.
Analida
Thanks for the comment Mindy. Yes, this is a good flavor combo, and I love the color too!
Mary
So I made this salsa today, was very bitter, thank goodness I had another mango to add to this. I also added one shallot.
I'll see what my guest have to say.
Analida
Mary! Thanks for your comment. It has actually made me think about something I should address regarding the variations in the sweetness of certain mangoes. I eat mangoes every day, and have found that they are not all equally sweet. When something is bitter, I usually add honey, which I keep on hand at all times. I hope your guests like it. Again, thanks for bringing this up.

This is so FRESH! Salsa verde is one of my favorites. I love the addition of the mango. Doing that next time.
Analida
Thanks Mike! Let me know how you like it!
