💡 Chef tips
- For a milder salsa, remove all the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
- Make this ahead of time by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; add the cilantro just before serving to keep it bright green.
- If mangoes are not perfectly ripe, add a tiny pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the lime.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished salsa should be brightly colored with a firm texture, smelling of fresh citrus and herbs, and offering a perfect balance of sweet mango, sharp onion, and a gentle spicy kick.
