Ingredients for Tropical Mango Avocado Salsa

The star of the show is the mango, bringing a natural sweetness and juicy texture that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado. The red onion adds a sharp bite, while the red bell pepper contributes both color and crunch. Cilantro infuses the mix with its fresh, herbal notes. A splash of lime juice ties everything together with a zesty kick. To spice things up, a jalapeño is added for that extra heat, balanced by a touch of salt and black pepper.

Tips & Tricks

To easily dice a mango, slice off the cheeks around the pit, score the flesh in a grid pattern, and scoop it out with a spoon.
Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture.
If you like it extra spicy, leave some jalapeño seeds in the mix.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.

Serving Suggestions

This salsa is incredibly versatile. Scoop it up with tortilla chips for a quick snack, or use it to top grilled chicken or fish for a refreshing twist. It's also fantastic as a taco filling or as a vibrant topping for your morning toast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this salsa ahead of time?: Yes, but it's best enjoyed fresh. You can prepare it a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated.
What if I don't like cilantro?: You can substitute with fresh parsley or omit it altogether if preferred.
How long will this salsa keep?: It will keep for about 1-2 days in the refrigerator, but the avocado may brown slightly.

Tropical Mango Avocado Salsa Recipe Walkthrough

Start by grabbing a large bowl and tossing in your diced mangoes and avocados. Make sure your mangoes are ripe for that perfect sweetness. Next, toss in the finely chopped red onion and diced red bell pepper. The key here is to chop them small enough so they blend well but still provide a nice crunch.

Now, add the freshly chopped cilantro. It’s best to use fresh cilantro as it really lifts the flavor of the salsa. Pour in the lime juice next, and gently stir everything together. The lime juice not only adds a nice tang but also keeps the avocado from browning too quickly.

Finally, add the minced jalapeño for that spicy kick. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then give everything a gentle mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. And there you have it – a bowl of vibrant, delicious salsa!
