We like to remove the juicy seed part, otherwise it can make the salsa a little soggy.

Tomatoes - ripe and juicy Roma or cherry tomatoes are a delicious addition and they keep with the fruit salsa vibe.

This is a side dish that is easy to customise with your favourite salad/salsa ingredients, or whatever you have in the fridge that needs using up. You could even BBQ slices of mango and cut it up at the table to make the salsa in front of guests for something a little fun. However, if you want to take this salsa to the next level, and really bring out the sweetness of it, then you can fry it first.ДЇrying it in a little butter caramelises the edges and makes it much sweeter. We just chopped up fresh mango and added it to the bowl with all the other ingredients.

Take a look at our detailed tutorial on How To Cut a Mango. It is much easier than you might think and we have a whole tutorial for it. Mango is one of those fruits that people don't usually know how to cut. Once they are ripe, then you can put them in the fridge until you are ready to use them, as this stalls the ripening process. The rice or popcorn helps trap the ethylene gas around the mango which makes it ripen faster. Remove theВ mangoes from the bag once they start giving off a fruity smell and softened.ДЄnother way to speed up the ripening process is to put the mango completely submerged in a bowl of uncooked rice or popcorn kernels. This will allow it to release some ethylene, which is an odourless gas that speeds up the ripeningВ process. If you want to speed up the process a little, then you can put them in a brown paper bag and leave it undisturbed overnight. Firstly, never put them in the fridge, as they need to be left out to be able to ripen.

If when you go shopping you still can't find a perfectly ripe mango, then you have some options when it comes to ripening them at home. Whilst you might think that a darker red, rather than green, would mean it is ripe, it doesn't necessarily work that way. It is similar to checking if a peach is ripe.Дon't focus on the colour too much, as different types of mango have different colours when ripe. Give the mango a gentle squeeze and it should give slightly which means that the flesh inside is nice and soft. The best way to tell if a mango is ripe is by the feel of it.

They need to be really ripe and full of flavour. The key to making this recipe as amazing as possible is choosing the best mangoes you can find. The combination of the sweetness from the mango and saltiness goes really well together.

Salt - don't skip on the salt here, as it adds lots of flavour and really brings out the flavour of the other ingredients.

Lime - this really lightens the whole dish up and makes it nice and fresh.

Use more or less, depending on how much you like it.

Coriander (cilantro) - not only does this add colour, but it makes the dish lovely and fresh and adds a lot of flavour.

If you like the flavour of jalapeno, but don't want as much spice, then remove the seeds and the white veins in the centre, as that is where most of the heat comes from.

Pickled Jalapenos - you could leave this out if you don't like spicy food, but we love the combination of sweet and spicy, and it is a salsa after all.

You can soften them in a pan for 60 seconds or so and then add to the salsa which should help. Not everyone is a fan of raw onion, as it can cause indigestion.

Red onion - this adds a nice pop of colour to the salsa, but you could swap it for spring onions (scallions) instead.

Make sure you chop it up small, as this salsa should be scoopable. Or try something different and use roasted red pepper. You can swap this for a yellow or orange pepper instead.

Red bell pepper - we prefer this as it is sweeter than other bell peppers which is perfect in a sweet salsa.I have included tips on how to choose a mango below. Make sure you pick perfectly ripe mangoes, as they need to be soft and juicy and have as much flavour as possible.
