Ingredients

Fresh Mango Salsa Ingredients

  • 1 large firm avocado, cut into chunks (just very slightly ripe)
  • 1 ½ heaping cups diced mango (from 2 large ripe mangoes)
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Carefully cut the avocado into chunks, ensuring it is just slightly ripe for a firm texture. Dice the mangoes, red bell pepper, and red onion finely. Seed and mince the jalapeño to adjust the spice level as preferred.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, place the diced mango, avocado chunks, red bell pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Add the lime zest and juice for a bright, citrusy flavor.
  3. Mix and Season: Gently mix all ingredients together to combine without mashing the avocado. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for your preferred balance of flavors.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Garnish the salsa with extra fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with multigrain tortilla chips. This salsa is also delicious served on salmon, fish tacos, or shrimp dishes.

Notes

  • For a spicier salsa, include some of the jalapeño seeds or add extra jalapeño.
  • Use firm, slightly ripe avocados to keep chunks intact and maintain texture.
  • Double the recipe to serve larger groups of 10-12 people.
  • Best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to prevent browning.
  • Adjust seasoning and lime juice according to taste preferences.
