Notes
- Make ahead: Mango avocado salsa tastes best freshly made, but to prep ahead, combine everything except the avocado, store tightly-covered in the fridge, then cut and mix in the avocado cubes immediately before serving. If it will be out for a little while, you can also spritz the avocado directly with lime juice to help reduce browning.
- Heat level: Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your liking, or leave it out entirely for a truly mild salsa.
- Yield notes: This recipe makes approximately 2 and 1/4 cups of salsa, which I find enough to serve 8-10 as an appetizer or taco topping, and 4-6 if pairing it with grilled chicken or seafood for a meal. The exact yield will vary depending on the size of your mango and avocado.
