My Mango Salsa

DSC_0207.jpg

This salsa is the ultimate “use whatever you have on hand” recipe. There are no true measurements, which makes it a breeze! Have an extra pepper laying around? Use it! Have other veggies you want to use? Sure, throw them in! I often bring this to parties, barbecues & family gatherings, and without fail, someone asks me for the recipe. I finally dug it out of my text messages and put it right here - for you!
