This vibrant salsa combines sweet mangoes, sour lime and spicy jalapeños for spectacular results. It’s mouth watering good on chicken or other grilled meats, vegetables, or if you dare, straight out of the salsa bowl. This bright-flavored salsa is also delicious with tuna steaks, accompanied by steamed rice and a nice hot sauce.
