I got a great recipe for Mango Tomatillo Salsa from Dave DeWitt and
Nancy Gerlach's book, "The Pepper Pantry: Habanero".  It's great with
tortilla chips but it is fantastic with grilled fish.  Here it is:
1 habanero chile(I think it's better with 2 or 3 habs), seeds removed,  
minced.
1 large mango, or 2 smaller ones, finely diced.
6 tomatillos, husks removed, finely diced.
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions, including the green tops.
1 clove garlic, minced.
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
2 tablespoons olive oil(I use extra virgin).
Juice of 1 lime.
Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and refrigerate for an
hour or more before serving.  The lime should help to keep this fresh in
the refrigerator for several days, but I really don't know exactly how
long it will keep.  The batches I've made usually get devoured within a
couple of days.  I'd like to find out if there is something I could add
to this so it would keep in the refrigerator long enough so I'll have
some for when mangos are out of season.  Well, I hope you like it.
