Recipe variations

Papaya-Cilantro Salsa Substitute ripe papaya for the mango and cilantro for the basil. If you like, add 1/2 cup chopped red onion. Another option is to substitute papaya for half the mango.

Green Melon Salsa with Mint So incredibly refreshing, and pairs nicely with pork: Substitute peeled and seeded honeydew melon for the mango and mint for the basil.

Five-Spice Peach Salsa with Thai Basil Save this for when tree-ripened peaches are in season: Substitute peaches for the mango and two tablespoons orange juice for the lime juice. Use Thai basil; if you can’t find it, use regular basil or cilantro. Add 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder.
