Best Habanero Mango Salsa
This habanero mango salsa combines roasted tomatoes and vibrant mango with spicy habanero, fresh red pepper, and cilantro for a bold, textured condiment. Roasting enhances the tomato's sweetness and softens the habanero's heat. Blending the mixture creates a versatile salsa that can range from chunky to smooth depending on blending time. It is ideal for serving warm or chilled and pairs well as a spicy addition to various dishes.

Notes
- Use fresh tomatoes rather than canned for a fresher flavor; canned tomatoes can soften taste.
- Remove habanero seeds for milder heat, or leave them in for maximum spice.
- Use fresh or frozen mango chunks according to availability without affecting flavor.
- Blend longer for thinner consistency, shorter for chunkier texture.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- This salsa can be prepared without roasting for a quicker, fresher alternative.
