We have enjoyed many Mango Salsas over the years but this one is one of our favorites.

Note: In all the years of teaching cooking, the most common comment is "Your husband is so lucky to have you cook all these great things for him!"
My response:
I say to my husband,"Do you want dinner?"
He says, "What are my choices?"
I say, "Yes or No"
