Sweet and sour mango sauce with fruity notes and a slight kick, perfect as marinade for chicken, fish and seafood, or for topping the grilled meat when its done. You can also use this healthy creamy mango sauce as pasta sauce or drizzled over salads and vegetables to jazz them up.

Suggestion: Use this mango sauce with these chicken fritters, or these stuffed chicken roll ups. I also tried to pair it with beef recipes like these beef meatballs, they turned out delicious!

Mango Sauce Recipe Overview

You can serve this on pretty much anything, it’s great over chicken or seafood, especially shrimp or white fish, over a shrimp poke bowl, or as a dip for grilled veggies. The mango sauce brings a nice sweetness and freshness to any otherwise bland food. However you serve it, this mango sauce is sure to be a hit.

Ingredients

• Mango–use fresh sweet mango. You could also use frozen mango, just let it thaw before using.
• Olive oil – extra virgin is the best but you could use a mild flavored oil like avocado as well.
• Lemon juice– freshly squeezed;lime juice or apple cider vinegar also works.
• Dijon mustard – yellow mustard also works. Use brown mustard for a spicier taste.
• Onion –yellow onion or onion powder.
• Garlic – fresh garlic cloves or garlic powder. Use lots of it, is really important for a fragrant sauce.
• Seasonings: sea salt and crushed black pepper
• Ketchup– sugar free / no additives, or use tomato paste. You can skip it, but I really like the extra flavor and acidity it brings.
• Maple syrup– or coconut sugar,optional (if not whole30).
• Habanero peppers – optional to make it really hot!

How To Make Mango Sauce

1. Peel and cut the mango into cubes
2. Add mango to a small blender, I’m using the small cup of my Beast Blender.
3. Then add the rest of ingredients (no specific order) and pulse a few times until smooth.
4. You can use it as it is, raw, or cook it in a skillet for 5-6 minutes for longer storage.
5. Allow the mango sauce to reach room temperature and then store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

How To Store

If you want your mango sauce to last longer than 3-4 days (raw), then cooking for 10 minutes or so and changing to a higher acidity (a pH of 3.8 or lower) is important.

Instead of lemon juice use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. Use a ratio of 4 ounces (½ cup) vinegar for every 10 ounces of other ingredients combined.

Generally speaking going heavier on vinegar, salt and garlic is better, as these ingredients are natural food preservers.Refrigeration in storing in a air tight container is also essential for longer storage.
