Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango, diced

• 1 ripe avocado, diced

• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped

• 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

• Juice of 1 lime

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the mango and avocado: Peel and dice the ripe mango and avocado. Place them in a mixing bowl.

2. Chop the vegetables: Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper. For a milder salsa, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before chopping. Add them to the bowl with the mango and avocado.

3. Add the cilantro: Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.

4. Squeeze the lime: Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa ingredients. The lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor and helps prevent the avocado from browning.

5. Season with salt and pepper: Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference.

6. Gently toss to combine: Using a spoon or spatula, gently toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed and coated with lime juice.

7. Chill if desired: For best flavor, you can chill the salsa in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

8. Serve: Transfer the mango avocado salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or alongside your favorite Mexican dishes.

Tips:

For added flavor, you can also include diced tomatoes or diced bell peppers in the salsa.

• Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less jalapeño pepper, or by including some of the seeds and membranes for extra heat.

• Feel free to customize the salsa according to your taste preferences. You can add ingredients like diced cucumber, pineapple, or black beans for variation.
