Forget store-bought tomato-based salsa. This pico de gallo-styled alternative made with tropical mango dusted with chili and chopped cucumber and bell pepper will tackle your sweet tooth and provide a fix to your spice craving: what better reason to dip? We love the combo of sweet and salty in this salsa, and we're lovers of cilantro, too. If cilantro tastes soapy on your palate, skip it in favor of a tablespoon of freshly chopped Mexican oregano. And if you're a real spice lover, add some minced fresh jalapeno or serrano pepper to taste, for added fire.
