And with a healthy scoop of just better.® prebiotic fiber stirred in, you’re giving your gut a little extra support without changing the flavor or texture one bit. 

Ingredient Highlights

Here’s a closer look at the star ingredients and why this salsa is as good for your gut as it is for your taste buds: 

🍓 Strawberries 

Naturally sweet and high in vitamin C, strawberries also contain polyphenols that support microbial balance in the gut. They add fiber and brightness without overwhelming the dish.

🥭 Mango

Mango brings juicy tropical flavor and a subtle creaminess. It’s rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, and delivers antioxidants that support digestion and immunity.

🧅 Red Onion

Red onion adds crunch, color, and a little bite. It contains natural prebiotic compounds that help feed beneficial gut bacteria—plus it gives this salsa a signature sweet touch.

🌿 Cilantro

Cilantro adds freshness and herbaceous depth. It’s also a great opportunity to help kids explore new flavors through fun, colorful meals. (Not a fan of cilantro? See our notes below!) 

🍋 Citrus (Lime) 

Lime juice adds balance and brightness while bringing all the ingredients together. Its acidity also helps the salsa stay fresh if stored for a day or two.

💚 just better.® prebiotic fiber

Made from one single ingredient—soluble corn fiber—just better.® dissolves completely into this salsa with zero grit, gas, or flavor. It’s a simple way to support gut health, blood sugar balance, and fullness with every snack. 

🙅🏻 No Cilantro? No Problem. 🌿

If cilantro isn’t your thing (we see you, fellow soap tasters!), you’ve got options. Try one of these fresh swaps for a similar burst of flavor:

• Mint – Light and refreshing, mint brings a cool contrast that works beautifully with fruit.

• Basil – Adds a slightly sweet, aromatic twist—especially good with strawberries.

• Flat-leaf parsley – Milder and more neutral, parsley still adds that pop of green without the polarizing flavor.

• Green onion tops – For a crisp, herbal edge without going full onion.

• Citrus zest – Skip the herbs entirely and brighten the mix with a little extra citrus.

This salsa is flexible, forgiving, and easy to tweak based on your taste buds (and your genes). 💚

All that flavor and fiber come together in a quick, no-cook recipe that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy. 💚
