Ingredients

Scale

Fruits & 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)

Seasonings

1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the fruits and onion: Peel and finely dice the ripe mango and avocado, and chop the red onion. Combine these in a mixing bowl to form the base of your salsa.
Add the jalapeño: Deseed the jalapeño to reduce heat and finely dice it. Consider the pepper’s smoothness for heat level; a smoother jalapeño is milder. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
Incorporate cilantro: Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture, adding freshness and herbaceous flavor.
Season and mix: Squeeze the juice of one medium lime over the salsa and sprinkle in the kosher salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve: Enjoy the salsa chilled with tortilla chips or use it as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or steak to add a fresh, spicy twist.

Notes

For less spice, remove all jalapeño seeds and membranes.
Use very ripe mango and avocado for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust lime juice and salt to personal taste.
This salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
Great as a topping for tacos or salads as well.
