Notes
Adapted from Que Pasa Chips.
Yield: makes about 5 cups of salsa.
Leftovers: stays good for about 2 days.
Make ahead tips:
You can dice up all the ingredients and mix it all together up to 8 hours before serving. Just keep the prepared salsa in the fridge, covered until you need it. If you're putting it on hot food (like the salmon or chicken), bring it out when you start cooking the salmon on chicken. That will let the salsa can come up to room temperature before you put it on a hot piece of salmon or chicken!Variations / Subs
Using fresh mango instead of frozen
The reason I like using the frozen mango is because I don't have to wait around for the mango to be ripe before I can make this salsa! Whenever you want it, the frozen mango is good to go (see tip before for thawing the mango chunks.) But if you have a whole bunch of ripe mangos on your kitchen counter - first of all, lucky you!! And secondly, cut those babies up and use them. For this recipe, you need 2 cups of diced mango so that would take 2-3 whole mangos, depending on which variety you've got.
Omit the jalapeño
Don't like the heat?🔥 Omit the jalapeño pepper completely. You won't get the kick of heat obviously but the sweet mango shine and the sour bite of lime will be there.
No bell peppers? No problem
If you don't have bell peppers, you can use cucumbers instead. They'll give a similar crunch to the salsa.
Got extra peaches on your counter? Dice them up and throw them in too.
