I love serving this Vegan Mango Salsa with Plantain Chips at barbecues, picnics, and pool parties. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make and always disappears quickly. The sweet and spicy flavors are irresistible, and it’s a great way to sneak in some extra fruits and veggies. Trust me, once you try this salsa, you’ll never go back to store-bought!
