Notes

Tips to make the best salsa & FAQ’s

If possible try to use the fresh, ripen, and less fibrous mangoes.
Red bell peppers are best to use in any homemade salsa as they taste sweeter as compared to any other bell peppers.
Adding salt & chili flakes is a complete choice but I do recommend as resulting homemade salsa taste sweet, spicy, and salty at the same time.
Don’t forget to add coriander. But you can replace it with fresh mint leaves.
If you need to make ahead, then mix everything except salt, lemon juice and keep it in the fridge. Add just before serving.
Just keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Chilled mango salsa tastes amazing.

How to store

Room temperature– At room temperature, 4-6 hours are good to keep. It starts leaving water as salt & lemon juice is already added.
Refrigerator– 2-3 days easily you can store in the fridge. Just mix everything except salt & lemon. Add just before serving.
Freezing– It is not recommended to freeze this salsa. But if required it can be stored for 2-3 months. Before serving you need to thaw and drain extra water.
