Notes
Make Ahead and Storage Tips: salsa may be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover: refrigerate until serving time. Drain any excess juice that has accumulated.
How to pick ripe a mango: look for a mango that is firm, yet have a little “give” when pressed with your finger. If mango is hard and green, wait a few days before making the salsa.
