Spicy Mango Salsa Recipe
Some of us like to have our salsa, even our fruit salsas, on the spicier side. Whether it is a salsa based on peaches, citrus, melon or as is the case here, mango, having a bit of heat to balance out the fruitiness of the main ingredient makes for a more balanced flavor profile.
