Note
For best results, ensure the mango is ripe but still firm enough to hold its shape.
You can substitute peaches or nectarines if mangoes are out of season.
Add a diced jalapeño to the salsa for a spicy kick.
Turkey can be grilled instead of roasted for a smoky flavor.
Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
