This looks great! With the price of produce right now, I have frozen mango (fresh is really $$$ where I am), would that work? What modifications would you suggest?
Hey there sorry for the delay! I don’t think frozen would work – freezing creates water crystals in the fruit which breaks down the fibers and makes it mushy upon thawing. I imagine this would make the salsa itself quite mushy and watery so personally I wouldn’t make it with frozen mango. But you could always try! Let me know if you do and if it works for you 🙂
ps. Maybe try replacing the mango with a most cost friendly alternative? Pineapple is usually much cheaper where I live and makes a great salsa too!
