Make Ahead and Storage Tips: salsa may be prepared up to 1 day ahead. If needed, drain excess juice that has accumulated. Store leftover salsa covered in the refrigerator and use within 1 day.
Look for mangoes that are firm, yet have a little “give” when pressed with your finger. Be creative with your fruit choices! Papaya would add a taste of the tropics and melons such as cantaloupe and honeydew are always welcome summer flavors.
