Ingredients

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon champagne (or white wine) vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Salsa

  • 2 large, ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 large, ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced (seeds and membranes removed for mild heat)
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small jar or bowl, combine the lime juice, champagne vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Shake or whisk vigorously until the dressing is fully emulsified and well combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Salsa Ingredients: Remove seeds and membranes from the jalapeño for mild heat (optional: leave for spicier salsa) and finely dice it. Chop the cilantro leaves finely. Peel, core, and dice the mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Cube the avocado carefully to maintain texture.
  3. Combine and Serve: Place the diced mango, avocado, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro into a large mixing bowl. Shake the dressing again to ensure it is well blended, then pour it evenly over the salsa ingredients. Gently stir to combine all elements without mashing the avocado. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping over grilled fish, chicken, or your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • For a spicier salsa, leave the jalapeño seeds and membranes intact.
  • Use ripe mangoes and avocado for the best flavor and texture.
  • This salsa is best served fresh but can be chilled for up to 2 hours; avoid longer refrigeration as avocado may brown.
  • Perfect as a healthy snack or a topping for grilled meats and seafood.
