Mango & Red Bell Pepper Salsa

Mango salsa

This fresh salsa goes great with so many items, especially spicy food. I use it on grilled salmon, shrimp on a skewer, jerk chicken and spicy pork tenderloin. Be sure to find a mango that is not too ripe, as it will become mushy. You can prepare this salsa a few hours before serving.

Mango & Red Bell Pepper Salsa Yum
