Notes

  • How to Store + Make Ahead
    • Make Ahead: make this recipe up to 24 hours in advance. The flavors will blend together the longer it rests. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
    • Store: Transfer any leftover salsa into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, give it a quick stir and taste for seasoning. Another pinch of salt may be necessary as fruit salsa tends to lose salt in longer storage.
  • Variations 
    • Mint to replace the cilantro: if you are not a fan of cilantro, fresh mint is the perfect alternative in this salsa. 
    • Avocados: Add in a roughly diced avocado for a more creamy texture.
    • Habanero: To amp up the spiciness of this salsa, add some habaneros in addition to jalapeño peppers fora. spicy mango salsa.
