Notes

  • Word of caution: Remember to exercise caution and follow proper food handling guidelines when working with spicy ingredients like habanero peppers. I highly recommend using gloves when deseeding and cutting the habaneros to avoid skin burn! If you didn't use gloves, wash your hands thoroughly!
  • Adjust heat: You can easily adjust the heat of this salsa by adding more habanero chiles for some extra spiciness or remove the seeds and membrane for a milder salsa.
  • Ripe mangoes: Opt for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
  • Other Types of Peppers: If you can't find habanero peppers you could use scotch bonnet peppers, jalapeno peppers or serrano chiles. 
  • Other Types of Fruit: You could easily swap the mango for other types of fruits or add more. I recommend sticking to sweet, more tropical fruits (pineapple, peach...)
  • Storing: This salsa recipe taste best when served immediately. Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
