Asian Mango Salsa

There are numerous variations on mango salsa. This variation uses ginger to make a nice component for Asian dishes in the summer when mangoes are deliciously in season. I use Cayenne versus Sriracha in this version in order to avoid coloring the salsa. You can custom make this however you like – experiment and have fun!!

Two Mangoes, diced
One half a red onion or one large shallot, fine dice

A few tablespoons of fresh basil or mint (optional)
