Notes

Tip 1 - Take care when handling habaneros - they are SPICY! Do not rub your eyes or touch your face. Thoroughly wash your hands well with soap afterward.
Tip 2 - For best results, adjust the spice level to taste. Start with one and add more if desired.
Tip 3 - Adjust the size of veggies to taste. You can leave bigger chunks or chop them up super small.
Tip 4 - If desired, blend half of the salsa and leave the other half as is.
To store - Transfer leftover salsa to an airtight container. Store it in the fridge and eat it within two days.
To freeze - As above. Remember that the chunky salsa won't freeze that well. The smoother version is more suitable for freezing.
Frozen mango - You can make the smooth version with frozen mango. Expect a more tender texture with the chunky version.
