I've always loved mango salsa, but I found that most recipes were either too sweet or too spicy. I wanted to create a salsa that was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. After some experimentation, I finally came up with this recipe, and it's quickly become my go-to salsa for everything from tacos to grilled fish to tortilla chips. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

The cilantro and jalapeno add a bit of heat and spice.
