Kick Off Your Meal with a Tropical Treat — Mango Salsa
Posted on September 11th, 2009

As a bonus, mango is high in nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber. And because mangoes are grown all around the world, there really is no mango off season.
The biggest trick to mangoes is cutting them, because that giant seed can get in the way. Fortunately, the National Mango Board has some really helpful tips.
