Notes

Pick the right mango: Start with ripe but firm mangos. Altaufo will work the best in US, Alphonso where available. They are great as they do not become mushy when chopped.

Add some heat: Too sweet with all the mango in there? Add some chili powder or Tajin for spice. Also swap the jalapeños for habaneros.

Chop evenly: The most important tip here is to chop the vegetables really fine and even size. You want to be able to scoop it onto chips or grilled vegetables.

Add more veggies: Cherry tomatoes, avocado or green onions can also be added to the salsa. Plus some corn or even black beans. Together these convert the salsa to a delicious salad.

Using leftover salsa: If you think you cannot finish all the salsa before the mango becomes mushy, simply purée it all up. Use this as a sauce for sandwiches, with fries or even over some steamed or grilled vegetables.
