2 ripe mangoes
2 to 3 fresh habanero peppers (see note)
1 red bell pepper -- diced
1/2 medium red onion -- minced
4 tomatillos
1/4 cup honey (see note)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste
3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
Cut mango fruit from pit; scoop fruit from peel and dice. Place in a large
bowl. Mince peppers and onion; add to bowl. Discard papery outer leaves from
tomatillos; rinse tomatillos, dice and add to bowl. Add honey, vinegar, hot
sauce, salt and black pepper; toss to mix well.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a garnish for grilled fish. Salsa may also be
used as a marinade or sauce for grilled chicken.

the flavor of the salsa, but can be omitted if hotter salsa is desired. Store
salsa in a nonreactive container, such as glass or ceramic.
