Notes
- Use Ripe but Firm Mangoes: Choose mangoes that are ripe for the best sweetness and flavor, but still slightly firm so they hold their shape in the salsa and don’t become mushy.
- Chop Ingredients Evenly: Try to chop the ingredients into similar-sized pieces so you get a balanced mix of flavors in every bite.
- Let the Salsa Chill: For even better flavor, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld together.
- Add Peach or Pineapple: We love the flavor of mango in this salsa. However, this mango salsa would be great with pineapple or peach. To do this, replace half of the mango with some chopped pineapple or chopped peaches.
