Mango Salsa

cookiedog's Note:

Mango salsa goes well with any kind of seafood or try it atop goat cheese on toasted bread. Although popular on both sides of the border, mango salsa is probably an American invention. If you can't get good mangoes, try Mexican papayas, peaches or ripe nectarines. This recipe is from Baja: Cooking on the edge.
