FAQs
Is this spicy?
That all depends on you! This is a very easily customizable recipe. You could easily add more habanero for a spicier salsa, or fewer for a more mild taste.
We love to use a mix of 3:1 heatless to regular habanero. You get all of the sweet, fruity flavor of the habanero without too much heat.
What if I don't like the pepper used?
We often hear people ask this question. The good news, there are so many different varieties of peppers that the world is your oyster. We suggest something sweeter to blend with the earthy sweetness of the mango.
Suggestions:
Bell Pepper - use only bell pepper if you want something sweeter with no heat.
Habanada - maybe it's just the heat, you could easily swap for all heatless habanero.
Jalapeno - used to the classics? You could use a jalapeno to add some earthiness with moderate heat.
Aji Amarillo - add a bit more heat than a jalapeno with this fruity thin pepper.
Ghost - phew! Turn up the heat by using ghost pepper instead.
Do I have to use mangoes?
Nope! You could use whatever fruit you want, though some may be a little strange. I'm thinking a banana might just make a spicy mush, but that could be good as it's own thing.
Peaches or pears would be a fun substitution.
