Avocado and Mango Salsa
Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with tropical flavors, this Avocado and Mango Salsa is a game-changer for your summer entertaining or taco nights. I've found that this colorful combination brings together the creamy richness of avocados with the sweet juiciness of mangoes, creating a versatile dish that works beautifully as a dip, taco topping, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados diced
- 2 ripe mangoes diced
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and minced
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 limes juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start by dicing your avocados and mangoes into similar-sized chunks (about 1/2 inch pieces). Pro tip: Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure but aren't too soft.
- Finely chop the red onion and mince the jalapeño. For milder heat, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeño.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced avocados, mangoes, red onion, and jalapeño.
- Add the freshly chopped cilantro to the mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the ingredients and add salt and pepper.
- Gently toss all ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocados.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
