Notes
- Make the Salsa all mango or all pineapple, papaya, peach or simply the greatest of classic salsas: this restaurant style Mexican salsa .
- I add a teaspoon of honey to my fruit salsa because I prefer it a bit on the sweet side. It’s optional, and if you feel the fruit is super ripe then skip it all together.
