FAQS
How long can I store the fresh mango salsa in the refrigerator?
You can store the fresh mango salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors might meld together even more, but the texture may soften slightly.
Can I use frozen mango for this recipe?
Fresh mangoes are recommended for the best flavor and texture. However, if you only have frozen mango, thaw it completely and drain any excess liquid before chopping and adding it to the salsa.
What other fruits can I add to this salsa?
You can experiment with adding other fruits like pineapple, peaches, or even avocado for a creamier texture. Adjust the other ingredients as needed to balance the flavors.
How can I make the salsa spicier?
To make the salsa spicier, you can add more green chili, use a hotter variety of chili, or include a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Is it necessary to use a food processor, or can I chop all the ingredients by hand?
While a food processor speeds up the process and ensures a consistent texture, you can definitely chop all the ingredients by hand. Just make sure to chop everything into small, uniform pieces.
