Tips for making the best strawberry mango salsa
- Use ripe fruit – Soft sweet mango and strawberries make all of the difference. If they are under-ripe, the salsa can taste flat.
- Chop the fruit small – Aim for small even pieces so every bite gets a taste of everything.
- Let it sit briefly – If time allows, letting the salsa sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving helps the flavors blend.

Storage tips
This salsa is best fresh, but it holds up well in the fridge for about 2 days when stored in an airtight container. The strawberries soften over time, so keep it in a shallow container and drain any excess liquid before serving.

Recipe FAQs
There is no right or wrong answer. The seeds and white membrane that holds the seeds in place contain most of the heat. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds before chopping the jalapeno. If you like your salsa spicier, leave the seeds in. Keep in mind the spiciness of a jalapeno pepper can vary so taste the pepper before adding it to the salsa.
If you have made your salsa too spicy, try adding more salsa ingredients to balance the heat out. You can also try to adjust the heat by adding an acidic ingredient like lime juice, lemon juice or vinegar.
Yes, chop everything up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge in separate containers. Mix just before serving for the freshest flavor.
