You can tell that summer is upon us when the markets are stocked with juicy ripe mangoes. I absolutely love golden creamy Ataulfo mangoes and the tropical fragrance of these ripe lovelies fills the air as soon as you walk into the produce section.
Ataulfo mangoes are so creamy and delicious, it is hard to resist eating the entire lot of them before you get them diced up and into this salsa.
It’s a simple recipe made with minimal ingredients that are all easy to find in any market. It’s perfect with crispy tortilla chips and mouthwatering atop a freshly grilled slice of salmon.
