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
Instructions:
Prepare the mango and avocado: Peel and dice the ripe mango and avocado. Place them in a mixing bowl.
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.
Add the cilantro: Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
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.
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.
Gently toss to combine: Using a spoon or spatula, gently toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed and coated with lime juice.
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.
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.
