Notes
- This salsa can be prepared up to two days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
- It does not freeze well due to changes in texture upon thawing.
- For more heat, replace jalapeño with serrano or habanero peppers.
- Using champagne mangoes requires doubling the quantity to match volume.
- Avoid letting the salsa sit on protein for more than two hours to prevent the mango enzymes from breaking down the texture.
