Mango Margherita Sauce- This fresh-ingredient sauce is perfect over pasta or on crackers as a bruschetta—a fresh twist using mangos on this Italian classic.

My friend Deanna made an amazing Classic Italian Margherita Sauce for our family a few years back. To this day, our family loves making her Margherita sauce. I love the recipe because of all of the fresh and wholesome ingredients.

Margherita Sauce is an Italian tomato-based sauce traditionally made with tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and basil. It is a popular pizza choice and can top other dishes such as pasta, seafood, and vegetables.

This Mango margarita sauce recipe is good with bruschetta. Instead of a toasted baguette, I used a thick cracker as the base.

The combination of basil, mangoes, and tomatoes is just perfection. The crackers were a perfect canvas for this mango salsa, but chips and toasted bread would have been just as delicious. This makes a great spring and summer meal.

We became obsessed with the sauce by combining it with Mango margarita sauce and freshly shaved Parmesan cheese.

How to serve with Mango Margherita Sauce

  • Grilling? Why not grill some chicken breasts or boneless skinless thighs and top them with the Mango margarita sauce?
  • Top this Margherita sauce over fresh burrata with a toasted baguette.
  • Serve this sauce over pasta, and it is just insanely delicious. I serve one cup of pasta with about 1/2-3/4 cup of sauce, then top it with freshly grated cheese.
  • Recipe tip! Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator; when stored correctly, they will last 4-7 days.

Mango Margherita Sauce- This fresh-ingredient sauce is great over pasta or on crackers as a bruschetta. A fresh twist using mangoes on this Italian classic.

Ingredients
 

  • 6 plum tomatoes
  • 2 ripe mangoes diced
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Blanch the tomatoes by boiling a large pot of water. Cut an X through the skin of each tomato; either on the bottom or the side.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the tomatoes and let them cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the skin starts to look like it is peeling off. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and let them cool. Once cooled remove the skin, dice, and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and let it sit at room temp for 1-2 hours, to allow the mangoes and tomatoes to absorb all of the flavors. Serve with pasta, on crackers or just eat straight from the bowl with fresh cheese, like Burrata. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
