Mango Habanero Salsa:
Instructions
- Make the salsa: combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Taste and season with more salt or lime juice as needed.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen mango. If using frozen mango, be sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess liquid before using.
- I highly recommend wearing kitchen gloves while chopping the habanero pepper. This keeps the spicy juices from getting on your hands. (If you accidentally touched your face/eyes, it would hurt!)
- For a less spicy version of this salsa, swap out the habanero pepper with jalapeno pepper or serrano pepper, or leave it out entirely. You can control the spice level further with the amount of seeds you choose to include in the salsa. More seeds = more spicy.
