Tested and proven salsa recipes, along with most tomato recipes, can still be processed in a Boiling Water Canner because of the additional acid added, usually in the form of bottled lemon juice. In fact, the additional acid is needed even if pressure canned.
Home custom salsa recipes are discouraged since they usually contain lots of low-acid ingredients and the user cannot accurately determine the total pH or stability for canning, even with a pressure canner.

Additional acid is not needed if pressure canned. The issue is that most hybrid tomatoes are not acidic enough. Heirloom tomatoes usually are, if you are canning them alone. The issue is with added ingredients. Processing time and pressure should be for the least common denominator when processing combination foods.

My canner does both water bath and pressure canning. The instructions that came with it say to pressure can tomatoes and do the water bath for salsa. My mother's been doing it for years, and I did it last year. I used a high altitude processing time since I'm way up in the Rockies.

I love mango salsa. I usually use mango, red onion, whatever hot peppers strike my mood, lime juice, garlic (although sometime I do without), salt and pepper.

I think the bottled lime juice makes it taste so much more alive than vinegar.

I'm sorry but that is NOT correct according to the National Center for Home Food Preservation which is the authority on such subjects. This is a safety issue in canning tomatoes.
"If a procedure from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning for canning tomatoes offers both boiling water and pressure canning options, all steps in the preparation ("Procedure") are still required even if the pressure processing option is chosen. This includes acidification. The boiling water and pressure alternatives are equal processes with different time/temperature combinations calculated for these products. "

If anyone wants to learn about food preservation (including canning) or undate their knowledge since facts and information do change over the years with advances in science and technology......The University of Georgia and National Center for Home Food Preservation is offering a *free* self-study course on the subject over the internet. Just go to National Center for Home Food Preservation and look for the link about halfway down the page.
