Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado and mango.
  2. Step 2: Add the finely chopped red onion and minced jalapeño to the bowl.
  3. Step 3: Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and add salt according to your taste.
  4. Step 4: Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a milder salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or use a sweet bell pepper instead.
  • Add diced tomatoes or corn for extra color and texture.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best bright flavor.
  • If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra minced jalapeño.

Storage

Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Since avocado browns quickly, it’s best enjoyed fresh. To minimize browning, squeeze a little extra lime juice over the top before storing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
