Cooking Notes
"Fresh-packed" mango -- already peeled, seeded and recipe-ready -- also can be used. It is sold refrigerated and is typically located in supermarket produce departments. In jars, the most widely available brands are DelMonte and SunFresh.
It is not necessary to peel or seed tomato.
The salsa is also delicious with seafood or grilled pork or chicken.

What you're saying..
I must confess, I have a new favorite cookbook – Cheap. Fast. Good! I have cooked many, many dishes from it. I love the poached chicken (mine always seemed tough before this recipe). The Flexible Mexican Filling is also a big hit at my house. I use this cookbook several times a week. Please keep up the great work.
