A vibrant and zesty Spicy Avocado Mango Salsa, combining creamy avocado, sweet mango, and a kick of jalapeño with fresh lime and cilantro. Perfect as a dip with chips or a topping for fish, chicken, or steak, this fresh salsa comes together in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
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 fruits and onion: Peel and finely dice the ripe mango, avocado, and red onion. Place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the jalapeño: Deseed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Note that choosing a smooth jalapeño will yield less spice, while one with markings will be spicier. Add the jalapeño to the bowl.
- Incorporate cilantro: Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Season and combine: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the ingredients, add kosher salt to taste, and mix everything thoroughly to combine. Serve immediately with chips or as a topping on fish, chicken, or steak.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave the jalapeño seeds in.
- Adjust lime juice and salt according to personal taste preferences.
- Serve immediately for best freshness; avocado may brown if left too long.
- This salsa pairs well with grilled meats and seafood.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
