Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Vegetables
- 1 large mango, peeled and finely diced
- 1 large avocado, finely diced
- ½ medium red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 medium lime, freshly juiced (or more to taste)
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the mango, avocado, and onion: Peel and finely dice the ripe mango, then finely dice the avocado and chop the red onion. Combine all in a mixing bowl.
- Prepare the jalapeño: Deseed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper. For milder heat, choose a smooth jalapeño as rough marks indicate higher spiciness. Add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Add the cilantro: Finely chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the bowl for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
- Season and combine: Squeeze the juice of a medium lime into the bowl, add kosher salt to taste, and gently mix all ingredients well to combine. Adjust lime juice or salt as needed before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy this salsa as a fresh dip with tortilla chips or spoon it over grilled fish, chicken, or steak for an exciting flavor boost.
Notes
- For less heat, reduce or omit the jalapeño seeds.
- Use ripe but firm mango and avocado for the best texture.
- Adjust lime juice and salt to balance tartness and seasoning according to taste.
- This salsa is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to prevent browning of avocado.
- Substitute cilantro with fresh parsley for a different flavor if desired.
