💡 Chef tips
- For the best flavor, choose mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.
- If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
- This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it is best enjoyed fresh.
