1 mango, peeled, sliced and diced
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
3 sweet mini bell peppers, stems cut, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
1 jalapeño, stems cut, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 T chopped chives (if you don't have chives, use the greenest parts of a green onion - the greener, the less harsh the onion flavor)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (if you hate cilantro, you can use mint or even fresh marjoram works well - if using mint or marjoram, only use 1 tablespoon)
1 t garlic powder
1-2 t green Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Simply mix everything together and let it sit for at least an hour before serving. With fresh salsas, you don't know what the end product is actually going to taste like until it the flavors have had time to mingle. An hour is the least amount of time I'd wait, and preferably you would do it overnight. After you've waited that time, taste the salsa and adjust seasonings accordingly. Some fruit salsas are far too sweet for my taste, so I think you'll enjoy the balance of this one.
