Fresh, vibrant, and delicious, this hits all the right notes: sweet and savory, with a little kick and a lot of lime! This makes a fantastic appetizer or a simple yet elevated topping for tacos, chicken, or fish.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir gently to combine. Sample and add extra lime juice and/or salt to taste. Enjoy!
1 mango, 1 avocado, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2-3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, juice of 1/2 lime, pinch kosher salt
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.
