💡 Chef tips
- For the best texture, ensure your mangoes are ripe but still firm; if they are too soft, they will turn into mush when tossed.
- If you prefer a milder salsa, remove all the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
- This salsa is best eaten within 24 hours, as the lime juice will eventually begin to break down the fruit texture.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished salsa should be bright and colorful with a perfect balance of sweet mango, crunchy vegetables, and a zesty, citrusy finish.
