For the best flavor and texture, use a banana that is firm and slightly underripe. Avoid overly ripe bananas as they will become mushy. The heat level of this salsa can be easily adjusted by controlling the amount of habanero pepper used. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. If you don't have fresh ginger root, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, but fresh ginger is recommended. This salsa pairs perfectly with grilled fish, chicken, or pork. It's also a delicious topping for tacos or nachos.
