This a question, not a comment as I have not made this recipe yet. Can you use frozen mango to make the mango salsa?
I always use fresh mango; however, in a pinch I suppose if you thoroughly thawed the mango and drained excess juices so that the other flavors in the salsa could mix well to create the fruity spicy flavors this recipe is known for it might work? Let us know what you decided to do Teressa.
